Wounaan Embera Snake Tagua Carving-Panama 16091515M

This is an excellect tagua carving. While the carving is great what makes it remarkable is the dye. This was a common practice back in the 1990's. The tagua artists would dip their white tagua carvings in the dyes their wives or sisters were making for the chunga fiber they use to make their baskets. Then they would polish the carving to high luster. This is one of those carvings. .

This is an old carving as well. Our son recently moved across town and since he does much of the shipping we moved the inventory. In the process we recognized that about 1000 carvings had dropped out of the Traderbrock system. So I am loading them back with some in Molamagic, Traderbrock's sister eBay store and the Traderbrock website.

The good news is our inventory value is higher than we thought. The bad news is I am 73 and may be packing for heaven before I get the job done. Why don't you just buy our whole business and let me retire?
