The wood used for this sculpture is called ironwood and is better known in Mexico as Palo Fierro. As its' name implies, it is one of the heaviest and most dense woods known to man. In fact, it is so dense that if this wood is placed in water, it will sink! Its' fine, dense grain makes it extremely difficult to carve. The tree grows at an altitude of 2500-feet or less in the desert and coastal regions of Sonora, Mexico. The Seri Indians and local craftsmen of Sonora are the master artisans of this wonderful work of art. This wonderful sculpture of a proud and majestic mountain ram is carved from a single, massive block of ironwood in fantastic detail! Measuring approximately 36-inches tall and 16-inches long, this beautiful sculpture is sure to be a focal point of anyone's collection.
