I have so many hummingbirds from NOVICA artisans that I'm slow to get more, but this one looked really pretty with the purple. Turns out it's also thickly carved, except for the head and beak, which gives it a nice feeling of depth.
This scarf is so much more than one can see in the pictures. I bought one as a gift, and as soon as it arrived I bought another for myself and two more for gifts.
Thank you Zeny and Reyna for another spectacular piece! The details are amazing. I will eventually use this with children as a visual to go with the book Snail Girl (a Navajo story). It has been so much fun to add to my Oaxacan alebrije collection with treasures from Novica.
