These Mexican wood carvings of frog percussion musicians were carved from wood and painted in the village of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca. The beautiful spotted painting is a great whimsical rendition of frogs (or are they toads?) The wood carving is lovely and amazing and if you can believe it, it is done with a machete. The wood is copal, native to the Oaxaca area. The aniline paint colors are different shades of greens and black and well coordinated. Very whimsical.
Each frog is One of a kind
