WITHIN THE HILLS OF OAXACA, THE “MIXES” (MIJES) TRIBES HAVE MANAGED THE WAY TO SURVIVE ALONG WITH OTHER CULTURES, PRESERVING THEIR SPIRIT AND MOST PROFOUND TRADITIONS.  WITH THEIR HANDS, MIXE PEOPLE CARVE AND DECORATE MAGICALLY THE WOODS FOUND IN THE REGION. THEY USE COPAL, CEDAR AND PALO TROCIDO.  THESE WOOD CRAFTS ARE MYSTIC AND IMAGINARY.

THE WOODWORKING TECHNIQUES AND ARTISTIC CAPACITY OF THE MIXE PEOPLE ARE LEGENDARY.    EACH OF THE WOODEN SCULPTURES FEATURED ARE HAND CARVED FROM THE WOOD.  AFTER BEING INTRICATELY CARVED, EACH PIECE IS HAND- SANDED AND PAINTED IN BRIGHT AND EXCITING MOTIFS.  THE CARVINGS ARE SIGNED BY THE ARTISANS, AND FULLY GUARANTEED FOR AUTHENTICITY AND SATISFACTION.
