Wounaan Embera Insect Bug Tagua Carving-Panama 16040725L

Folks, what we have here is an Insect tagua carving that makes full use of the tagua nut. The coloration on the back of the bug is the shuck or hull of the the tagua nut. It is highly polished and the carving is nicely undercut.. This is a rare rascal because I don't see too many bugs. It is also old, I probably bought it in the early 1990's. Let me hear from you entomologists.

They make great gifts and
