Wounaan Indian Tagua Nut Grabado Etching Sloth Carving - Panama 21022125L

This is one of the few remaining grabados or etched and painted tagua carvings I have left.

These were highly popular with the tagua artists in the early 1990's. I remember having about 100 pounds of them back then but today I only have a handful left. I chose a few to keep and decided to sell the rest. This one is an excellent example of the tagua nut itself. It will help collectors explain to their admirers just what a tagua nut looks like. In your mind's eye turn this one over. The sloth should be hanging from the branch. I have a new photographer who is learning about the animals.

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