Fiery shades of crimson, orange, yellow, and gray form the birds’ crests and sweeping tails, while hand-painted branches, berries, and foliage complete each scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth works are presented under glass in ornate hand-carved cedar frames, giving the pair an especially rich, sculptural presence. The original Cartimex label remains on the reverse and describes Mexico’s centuries-old feathercraft tradition, tracing the art form to pre-Hispanic Michoacán. A second label identifies the pieces as products of Toluca, Mexico.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSold as a pair because separating them would be a crime against good decorating.
