(pronounced Wa-Haw-Ken) wood carvings are whimsical and enchanting art figures that have captivated collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. These imaginative and brilliantly colored figures are hand carved and painted in tiny villages in the state of Oaxaca, home of the Zapotec Indians in Southern Mexico.  NOTE* Because these are pieces of individual art the carving and painted colors can and will be different with each piece.
