Wounaan Indian Tagua Carved Apple Pendant-Panama 21072224L

Folks, what we have here is a nearly vintage tagua carving of an Apple. It's a long story. Back in the good ole days in the Panama Canal Zone when the place was rift with Americans a few of my friends said I ought to get the Indians to carve a few tagua apples. Sounded reasonable so I put the word out. I couldn't stop the harvest. Tagua apples were coming out of the weeds at an ever increasing rate. Then the rascals started on cocobolo wood apples. I had a storage problem.

That was 25 years ago. These are some that made it here in the bottom of a box of baskets. So when I came across them I thought... we're close to Christmas and folks are thinking stocking stuffers. So here they are... first come, first served. I'll look for some more.

Oh, size... someone is sure to write. 1.5" x 1.5".

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