Take a seat and stay a while! This Easy Chair Figure sits up straight in a chair with a tall flat back, hands held at the chest and carved toes on both feet. The chair stands on four short legs, and golden brown streaks swirl across the face and body. It has been in our collection for more than 30 years.

Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood from the Pacific side of Panama and Central America. It is so dense it sinks in water, and its natural oils polish to a soft, warm shine. Fresh cut, the wood shows orange and red tones with dark streaks; with age the colors deepen, so no two carvings ever look alike.

Each piece is carved by hand in Panama, in the wood carving traditions of the Emberá and Wounaan peoples. Their carvers have long chosen cocobolo for figures of the animals and plants of the rainforest around them.

From Jan at MolaMagic: A woman in her chair, or a man? The big head made me think man, but you decide.

MolaMagic was founded by Janet Marie Brockman with a simple but powerful mission: to help artisans in Panama share their art with the world. All profits go right back into the artisan community, supporting education, medical care, land, tools, and daily needs. Buying a MolaMagic carving means you are part of that story too.
