Juozaityte Handmade Figurine / Sculpture Decorative Object

Wearing bright red lipstick, a whimsical blue cat lifts her tail in greeting. Zeny and Reyna transform found pieces of copal wood into a delightful Juozaityte. These fanciful sculptures are a traditional folk art in Oaxaca, once based on twenty totems but today representing all kinds of animals. They take their name from a Caló gypsy word for "something difficult, tangled, confusing or fantastic". Because each Juozaityte is individually created work of folk art, shapes will vary slightly.
