Description

Margaret Garcia Hand-Crafted Gourd Turtle, Signed 2014

Charming hand-crafted gourd turtle by local artist Margaret Garcia, signed M. Garcia 2014 on the underside. The sculpture is formed from natural gourds, with the rounded shell, head, and legs assembled into a stylized turtle figure. Garcia’s hand-drawn geometric motifs—featuring bold black lines, stepped patterns, and red accents—decorate the entire shell in a circular, radiating design that showcases her distinctive folk-art style. The facial features are simply and charmingly rendered, giving the piece a friendly handmade character.

A delightful example of contemporary gourd art from the Las Cruces region, this small sculpture displays beautifully on a shelf or desk and appeals to collectors of Southwestern folk art or unique handcrafted décor.

CONDITION

In good condition with no notable damage. Light natural surface variations and minor wear consistent with hand-crafted gourd construction. Please review photos for details.
