[sold] Burnished clay hearts in the traditional 'brunido' style of Tonala, Jalisco - by renowned master craftsman Angel Santos. Natural clay polished to a deep chipotle-color luster, with delicate hand painted birds and flowers. Recessed wire loop on reverse for wall display. Marked on the back with Santos' circle-A branding - which he uses for popular items, as opposed to his complete signature which he reserves for the most special art pieces. Intriguing rectangular slot opening above each mark, both to vent the clay in firing, and perhaps to receive a few special coins. There is a long tradition of clay coin banks from Tonala, to which these hearts perhaps make some reference. Mexico. fe Detail views below. A. 6" - $75 A. 6" A. reverse A.
