Antonio Villafanez (Oaxaca, Mexico) Holy family, 1998. Painted wood,
45 x 41 x 17 x cm. The group shows the child Jesus flanked by mother Mary and father Joseph. They are presented inside a box with hinged doors, the style of which has become a trademark of the Villafanez family. The carved figures are somewhat stiff and imbued with a spiritual quality that appears to set them apart and gives them an air of mystery. Other objects in this section
