Wounaan Indian Vintage Spider Tagua Nut Carving-Panama 20121145L

And what a spider it is! Look at those delicate legs. Carvings like this are difficult to do and difficult to find. The artist worry about breaking the legs and the tagua carving collectors can’t find spiders often so they grab them up when available. This is an old carving that has been in my collection for perhaps 25 years.

It is signed by the artist.
