Wounaan Extraordinary White Anteater Tagua Nut Carving-Panama 20061202mm

The Wounaan tagua carvers are some of the best tagua carvers in the world. We have been buying and selling their tagua carvings for more than 25 years.

I have always been impressed by the way the artists undercut their carvings so you get a clear view of the animal. It also permits them to do a complete job when they paint their masterpieces. However this carving is natural. White is tagua's natural color and the reason it is called vegetable ivory.

This is a very old carving and it is truly extraordinary. I tried to show the anteater from all sides.
