Wounaan Embera Iguana Lizard Tagua Carving-Panama 15111219L

Folks, the next 10 or so tagua carvings are oldie goldies. I suppose I have had them for 20-25 years. It is fun to go back and review where tagua carving came from in Panama. Sometimes there are neat techniques that the artists used back then that they have abondon today. Look closely at the photos.

Here the artist wrapped the feet under the nut.
