Wounaan Hand Carved Tortise & Egg Tagua Nut Carving-Panama 21020213mm

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.

Here's a tagua nut carving for the Tortise lovers. It is a fine Sea Turtle carving. Beautifully carved and painted.

It appears to be emerging from its egg. Look closely... he pushed so hard his foot is showing on the back of the egg. I guess you call that a breakout.

This is a very old carving.

Tagua carvings in Panama are painted with high quality inks. I trade the bottles of ink to the artists.
