Maximino Santiago created this wonderfully carved and painted small jaguar in his workshop in La Union, Oaxaca.

Maximino, the patriarch of his family, is the master carver. He’s always sitting on a wooden stool working when you visit—usually with a machete in hand. His wife and children paint the wood carvings. A favorite family to visit in La Union.

Purchased directly from Maximino in October 2026.

Size: 5.5” long x 2.5” wide x 2” tall
