Signed Mopa Mopa Duck Trinket Box Colombia Folk Art

This eye-catching piece features richly layered, hand-applied designs in warm gold, red, and black tones, with intricate feather and floral motifs that shimmer subtly in the light. The underside is signed “Obandos Carlos / Pasto (Nar) / Col.” and retains a vintage Aruba retailer label, reflecting its journey through the Caribbean.
Both decorative and functional, the removable lid reveals a carved interior compartment—perfect for storing small treasures. A delightful example of Colombian folk art, blending cultural heritage with whimsical form, and sure to stand out in any collection.
