handmade statue

To make this sweet set of three purple pig-shaped figurines, Jose Arriola works ceramic at high temperatures on wood and charcoal-fueled grills, a method used in his native Guatemala since the ancient times of the Mayans. This hand-painted sweet pig family has floral motifs and is a perfect decoration to bring some color to your spaces.

An adorable girl in a yellow cotton gown will add a tender and tropical touch to your interiors. Marcela Moran's decorative doll is handcrafted in El Salvador, which is why this cute home accent has such a vibrant aura full of cheerfulness. The piece comes with a guava wood base and a little yagua palm fiber basket on its head, with little ceramic fruits representing the natural wealth of the region.

"I am a man of fervent faith, so I feel very happy when I'm handcrafting Christmas ornaments," confides Jose Arriola. He paints each figurine by hand featuring abstract images of birds and flowers with the bright colors of his beloved Guatemala. The set of six ornaments hang from bright red ribbons and arrives in a traditional pedal-loomed cotton pouch
