Whimsical Animal Lover Ceramic Sculpture, "Animal Lover"

This delightfully whimsical sculpture is the creation of the Aguilar Artisan Workshop, a family enterprise that specializes in polychrome ceramic artworks. The sculpture is of a man surrounded by cats and dogs, including two in his arms and a dachshund on his head. The man's stoic expression says everything there is to say. The artisans form the sculpture by hand from local clay before it is dried, painted, and fired at high temperatures.
