This is a carving of a Louisiana Blue Crab. Carved out of cedar. Notice the realistic detail of the legs. The claws are highly detailed and is in an opened position. Won second place best of show at the Cajun Heritage Festival in Larose , Louisiana. Crab measures 15 inches long - 12 1/2 inches wide - 5 inches high. You can tell by the markings on the bottom that it is a big male crab. A dozen of these in a boiling pot would make any ones mouth water. Just a small example of the life we have here in Louisiana.
