Large Oaxaca Black Pottery Floral Egg Shaped Sculpture, "Floral Egg"
"This design is inspired by our customs. The egg is one our our symbols at Easter," Anakarem says. Incised by hand into a ceramic sculpture, flowers wear a halo of raindrops. The talented artisan works in the time-honored black pottery tradition of Oaxaca, with techniques learned from her father. The fired clay is burnished to a sheen with a piece of quartz or obsidian. Because the figurine has a rounded bottom, it requires its circular display stand.

"Perfect Desk Accessory I"
I bought this for my computer desk because it was very unique. However after a short period of time, with only pencils and favorite pens to place in it; it broke I to pieces ?? unexpectedly.
