FREE: Ironwood Saguaro Cactus Sculpture -- Hand carved from a block of Ironwood -- "Free Shipping"

The listing, Ironwood Saguaro Cactus Sculpture -- Hand carved from a block of Ironwood -- "Free Shipping" has ended.

This artistic sculpture was hand carved from the wood of an "Ironwood" tree, it's name in Spanish is palo fierro (iron stick). It has a beautiful grain and as it's name implies, is very dense. Live ironwood trees are not harvested for carving. Fallen ironwood is collected, after drying for several years to be used by the carvers.

The Seri Indians originated this handcraft in 1961. Today the Seri Indians, as well as other talented artisans in northern Sonora, Mexico are masters in creating these beautiful carvings. There may be natural imperfections in the wood, which also adds to the unique character of each piece.

This sculpture is approximately 2 3/4" wide at the base and 5 1/2" tall.
