wood carving

Cute and cunning, these little owls are ready to add an enchanting touch to your home decor. Handcrafted by Peruvian artisan Percy Rojas, each dried gourd ornament features a unique design in a warm palette and comes with a cotton cord that allows you to hang them anywhere.

El Salvador's Marcela Moran creates this charming and natural nativity sculpture celebrating love and tranquility in Bethlehem. Atop a round base of cortez wood, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus are crafted from jute, dried gourd and agave fibers. The holy trio is clothed with 100% cotton attire hand-woven in a traditional loom.

"This nativity line was created as a way of reevaluating an underestimated and little valued natural fiber which has great potential. It can be used for many things and we transform it into decorative pieces with multicolored touches from the handmade fabric that complements it," Moran says.

Daniel Vargas' ancestral heritage travels to distant lands, bringing this exquisite decorative box to life. The Peruvian artisan works on a dried mate gourd, hand-carving each elegant detail with mastery. Equipped with a handy quinual wood knob, the box showcases a portrait of a panda and its cubs, handmade through classic wood-burning methods.

Working with elements obtained from natural resources, Costa Rican artisan Ruth Guevara crafts an abstract and captivating homage to the region's stunning forests. This sculpture features a calabash gourd sphere accented with floral and sinuous details, enriching the piece's natural tone. Finished with jute fibers for a tropical vibe, the artwork is equipped with an elegant stand.

Costa Rica's tropical arts embellish a sublime creation by Ruth Guevara. Honoring the region's nature, the artisan works on a calabash gourd, hand-carving a traditional jaguar figure around geometric details. The ornament is later painted in warm hues that beautifully complement the material's natural color. Finally, the artisan equips her creation with jute cords that allow you to hang the piece anywhere.
