This hand-carved wooden sculpture of a dog figurehead is inspired by the traditional carranca, which is believed to ward off evil spirits. It is carved from umburana wood and features a striking contrast of colours. The sharp fangs, wide toothy grin and large, expressive eyes give the piece a mix of strength and playfulness.
