  A piece of copal tree gets transformed in to a beautiful jaguar figure by craftsmen at the Jacobo Angeles workshop. This is just the fist step in a long process where the wood is treated against insects in an oven, then exposed to the sun for a long period and finally cracks and insect holes are restored before painting. San Martín Tilcajete, Ocotlán, Oaxaca, México.
