Maximino Santiago, a wood carver in La Union, Oaxaca made this fun goat playing the guitar ornament for Modela.

A tiny silver eye screw is embedded into the top so all you need is a traditional metal hook to attach to a Christmas tree branch. Also, the goat is free standing to display all year round.

Maximino is an excellent carver that we visit twice a year. His family members paint the animals. He farms when he’s not carving so it’s also interesting to see what he is growing when you visit. La Union is a rural town about 45-60 minutes from Oaxaca depending on road conditions. The Santiago family is a large extended family of wood carvers that live there.

Purchased directly from Maximino this November.  

Size: 3” tall x 2” deep
