So glad I found this new-to-me Oaxacan artisan on Novica. Thank you Alejandro and Rocio for the adorable treasure. Such amazing painted details! He has joined a carved wood Nativity set from Guatemala. He has many other friends from Oaxaca and Guatemala that were added to the set.

I just returned from my second trip to Peru, where I saw hundreds of original Moche artifacts in museums, including the one this is based on. I was looking for a piece like this to bring back, as I love Moche work, but didn t find anything I liked. I saw Mr. Acosta s work on Novica and was immediately enthralled.
