These beautiful abstracted wooden hummingbirds are made and signed by the Xuana family of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca. If you are familiar with the Xuana pieces, they are exceptionally well done both in the carving and the painting. These charming carvings are exquisitely done, carved from a single piece of copal wood. The painting is another amazing example of the color combinations and design sense of the Xuanas. The dots and sophisticated color choices on the body painting are signature style of the this very collectible artwork from Oaxaca. They can be hung from the small hook on the top. Fishing line is attached if you would rather hang them from that.
