Wounaan Embera Seedeater Bird Tagua Nut Carving-Panama 20072712mm

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.

Folks, what we have here is a bird. What kind of bird beats me but Panama is famous for its birds and birdwatchers come to Panama to wearout their binoculars. If I were to wager a guess I would say seedeater. I have seen similar carvings with a seed in the bird's beak.

What makes it for me is the tail feathers. Look how nicely they are finished.

Every tagua carving is a one-of-a-kind treasure.
