Meet the Bowed Head Woodpecker, perched on a small block base with its head tipped down and its long pointed beak aimed low, as if it just heard something tasty under the bark. Carved lines mark the folded wings, and the long tail drops down almost to the table beside the base. The wood is a smooth, warm brown with soft grain lines.

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.

MolaMagic was founded by Janet Marie Brockman with a simple but powerful mission: to help artisans in Panama share their art with the world.
