Used by fishermen in Peru for thousands of years, the caballito de totora is a standing watercraft traditionally made from reed bundles. Diligently hand-carved from mahogany wood, an Andean man conducts his seaworthy vessel with a long stick. Peruvian artisan Fernando Castro creates this cultural sculpture.
The man and the boat are two separate pieces.

"Another beautiful giraffe for my growing collection-almost all from Novica"
I have other pieces of sculpture by Mr. Fernando Castro. Everyone is so special. The wood carvings are detailed and delightful. He is a true artist. I hope to continue collecting his pieces for many more years.
