Curtis Garcia

S O L D This hefty mole carving is made by Curtis Garcia from black marble. He's just about twice life size and weighs nearly five oz. Curtis is known for his sgraffito (etched) carvings. First he shapes the animal from marble and then polishes it to a high sheen before etching the surfaces freehand with traditional Zuni motifs. He carves buffalo and frogs, mountain lions with some regularity. I don't know that we've ever offered a mole before. And he's a beauty. You probably know that the mole is the guardian of the nadir or underground. He's responsible for keeping pests from the kitchen gardens so despite his demure size his job is very important! His eyes are inlaid of turquoise and he is signed on bottom. If you would like to read more about the Mole's characteristics and attributes click here.
