About the Item
Circa 1960, We offer this antique bench carved from a single solid wood log, depicting an elongated and expressive crocodile. This piece is a remarkable example of mid-20th-century Mexican folk art, entirely hand-carved with great technical skill and a strong sculptural sensibility.
The surface displays a beautiful, time-earned patina that enhances the geometric textures of the carving and adds visual depth. Notably, the eyes are crafted from solid bronze, lending the figure a distinctive character and symbolic strength.
Both functional and sculptural, this bench can be used indoors or outdoors, serving as seating, a decorative object, or a focal point within a space. A unique work where utility, tradition, and artistic expression converge.
