Thai Sawasdee Girl Unique Celadon Ceramic Sculpture

Duangkamol

(504)

A girl kneels holding her cupped hands to her chest before performing the traditional Thai wai or greeting. The wai is a highly important reciprocal sign of courtesy. Hands are cupped together and the head is lowered while saying Sawasdee Khap, meaning "hello." "I have worked on small figurines to decorate the spirit house, which in Thailand is believed to house the guardian spirit of each home. I was wondering that if I could work on a figurine that is slightly bigger than the ones used for the spirit house, what position and expression should this figurine have?" recalls Duangkamol. "I remembered that our wai greeting has become recognized by people all around the world, and this is how I came to be inspired to create this little celadon girl wearing a Thai traditional costume."

By Mexican artisan Juana Ponce, this figurine is crafted from ceramic in the style of Talavera handicrafts. This figurine, part of a series, depicts a Mariachi who sings soulfully. Ponce paints the Mariachi with intricate floral motifs using colorful pigments.

Olmec Fire God Handcrafted Archaeological Ceramic Sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Clay reveals the intense features of Huehuetéotl, the first god of the Aztecs. One of the most respected, he is the old god, the god of fire, the god that gave rise to the other deities in the pre-Hispanic pantheon. At his feet, an anfre holds glowing embers, while his wrinkled visage attest to the god's great age. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association masterfully recreate this important icon from Mexico's pre-Hispanic past.

In 1901, a cat sculpture was discovered in the mansion of the Marquee of Apartado, just to the west of the principal temple of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association replicate the océlotl (ocelot or "little tiger"), associated with warriors. The original is thought to have received the hearts of sacrificial victims whose blood was necessary to feed the hungry sun.

Sunflower Catrina Ceramic sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(261)

Elegant Catrina strolls around the park under a wide-brimmed hat, parasol at hand. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association conjure her flamboyant appearance inspired by the original work of José Guadalupe Posadas. A renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913), he created Catrina, (meaning "dapper") and her mate, Catrin, as caricature symbols of Mexico's politicians, implying that after all, they too die. Since then, Catrina has become an essential element of Day of the Dead celebrations but without the political underpinnings. She represents Mexico's comedic attitude towards death.
