Two of these tiny, Oaxacan wood carvings are made by Flor and Abad Xuana of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca. Two of them, the gorgeous owl faces, were made by Victor and Jesusita Xuana. If you are familiar with the Xuana family's pieces, they are exceptionally well done both in the carving and the painting. These small animal masks feature dots, dashes and colors which are exquisitely done. The meticulous attention to detail on the face painting are signature style of the Xuana family.
