Antonio Xuana: Zapotec Rabbit eagle sculpture

Antonio Xuana: Zapotec Rabbit eagle sculptureThis fascinating rabbit by Antonio Xuana looks like it just paused mid hop to listen in on a secret. Its compact little body is carved with such precision that every curve feels soft and alive, from the rounded haunches to the alert ears pressed back against its head. Antonio fills the form with luminous turquoise and warm earth tones, then covers it in tiny geometric patterns that almost feel like woven textiles. The result is a rabbit full of
