Angel Matias: Little Owl Ceramics A candle can be placed

A candle can be placed on the center of the wreath

The texture imitates feathers while keeping a stylized

The mini Jaguar is intricately carved and beautifully painted

almost like a living piece of folk art illustration on clay

The geometric stars and diamond patterns echo the sacred “Ojo de Dios” (Tsikuri)

Angel Matias: Little Owl Ceramics A candle can be placedCharming little owl by Oaxacan woodcarving artist Angel Matias. Small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, this little owl packs a lot of personality into a very small package. Angel carved it in a round, compact form with those big, blue, wide open eyes that make it impossible to resist. The painting is bold and confident, a teal facial disc with radiating lines, a body of rich purple and hot pink, and a surprise of orange and yellow on the back.
