These grecas patterns are so meticulously and finely painted with agave thorns which is used instead of a brush in order to provide the fine lines that a traditional brush can't produce
Everything from the carving to the painting and gold leaf is perfection and what we have come to expect from the Carreño family whos family members each specialize in separate parts of the artistic process
Copal wood is sustainably sourced in the fields surrounding the small towns of San Martin Tilcajete & Arrazola and is the wood of choice for wood carvers in Oaxaca
