2000?  TH Mola from Panama.  17" x 14.7".  Unknown source.

My what a lively, colorful piece of work!  At first, I thought that this duo was musical, but on further inspection the hare is eating a carrot.  And is the tortoise carrying a basket?  In any case, they do not seem to be racing!

 

2000?  WC Mola from Panama.  Dimensions.  Unknown source.

This lively piece of work can be hard to decipher, at least at first.  Are those frogs behind and under the wolf?  I find this work breathtaking!
