A Keepsake
I was privileged to see and hear Howler Monkeys while traveling through Central America in the 90?s. So when I came across this wonderful sculpture, I wanted to add it to my small set of momentos. It is well crafted and I especially like the howling mouth! It was packed well for its long journey from Peru to Alaska. I highly recommend this highly skilled artisan!
Exqusite and dynamic!
I have a lot of folk art, including a number of other pieces from John Barrow, and I am mostly only interested in depictions of animals, plants, and geometric forms, not humans. However the colors of the women's dress, combined with the condor, make this one of only a handful of pieces I have in my collection depicting humans, and I am extremely happy with it! One thing I realized I especially love about this piece is the dynamism that comes from having the condor sticking out away from the piece's center of gravity.
