About the Item

Artist: Unknown Date: Late 20th Century Medium: Paint on copal Style/Movement: Dimensions: 10" H Additional Details: This bold and provocative figure is a traditional Mexican diablo carving, painted in fiery red with multicolored serpent-like stripes and...exaggerated anatomical features. With black horns, a dramatic expression, and stylized facial hair, the piece reflects both folkloric symbolism and the playful, irreverent spirit often found in Oaxacan woodcarving-where devils, saints, and surreal creatures coexist in vivid hand-painted form.
