Mogno wood, graphics in natural pigments and snail shell

Carved from solid Piranheira wood and adorned with traditional Wauja graphic motifs using natural pigments, Tamanduá Noir is a powerful example of contemporary Indigenous art from the Upper Xingu region of Brazil.
Turuza Wauja’s work reflects a living tradition—deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge yet fully engaged in the present—where mythology, identity, and aesthetic innovation meet. This sculpture stands as both a cultural testimony and a singular artistic statement within the broader landscape of contemporary art.
