Details

Are you a cat person? Then you are in for a delight with this set of three black cat-shaped figurines made with ceramic and painted by hand. Guatemalan artisan Jose Arriola works ceramics just like the ancient Mayans did centuries ago, by treating the material at high temperatures on charcoal and wood-fueled grills. The result is a charming addition to your spaces, be it at home or at the office, in the shape of your favorite animal.
