Ancestral Image Hand Carved Wood Skull Figurine in Yellow from Mexico

Jesus and Roxana Hernandez

(102)

Mexico's pre-Hispanic cultures honored their dead through celebrations and commemorations; after the arrival of the Spaniards, these cultural traditions became fused with the Catholic church's rituals and holidays, notably All Souls' Day in November which is now commonly known as the Day of the Dead. Influenced by these ancestral customs, artisans have been creating handicrafts using skull imagery for centuries. Jesus and Roxana Hernandez of the Mexican state of Oaxaca present this eye-catching skull-shaped home decor piece carved by hand from copal wood. Against a yellow base color, black lines are drawn to simulate a scaly texture, then the skull is further hand decorated with patches of geometric patterns on the top and sides in red, green, and pink. The dark eye sockets and nasal cavities are outlined in blue and green. Two rows of pearly white teeth complete the colorful cranium.

Zacatlan Flowers Talavera Style Ceramic Serving Bowl from Mexico

Pedro Tecayehuatl

(89)

Flowers blossom with an exuberant feast of colours on a serving bowl designed in the Talavera style of the state of Puebla. The motifs are painted by hand over the ivory-colour ceramic bowl with a palette that includes yellowish-orange, blue, and green flowers over a crisscross network of dots and crosses. Bordered by a black honeycomb, this beautiful dish comes from the 'Zacatlán Flowers' collection designed by Pedro Tecayehuatl.

Talavera is a distinctive art form brought to Mexico by artisans from Talavera de la Reina, Spain. The ceramic artisans of Puebla, Mexico then incorporated Chinese designs, thus creating the blue and oyster-white patterns traditionally associated with Talavera Poblana. Today there are also more "contemporary" designs that include yellow, green, orange, mauve, black and red.

National and international conventions require that a rigorous procedure be followed in the elabouration of authentic Talavera-style ceramics. Each individual piece will be slightly different, and therefore a unique work of art.

Talavera beauty

This is another beautiful piece of Talavera that I will proudly add to my collection. I was a bit concerned that it might be damaged in transit, but they did an OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING job of packing it, further proof of the conscientious manner and value that Sr. Tecayehuatl exemplifies in his work. Lovely, thank you.
