Jesús Peña Mata Ortiz Olla – Geometric Design
This olla by Jesús Peña exemplifies the celebrated ceramic artistry of Mata Ortiz, a village in northern Mexico renowned for reviving the ancient pottery traditions of Casas Grandes (Paquimé). The hand-built, hand-painted jar features bold geometric motifs in red and black over a smooth buff-colored clay body.
Peña’s design reflects traditional influences with modern precision—showcasing stylized birds, spirals, and abstract linear patterns arranged in a symmetrical composition. The olla’s rounded profile and slightly flared rim enhance its sculptural presence. The underside bears the artist’s signature, and the piece includes a black ceramic ring base for display.
Condition
Excellent condition, like new. No chips, cracks, or visible flaws. The painted surfaces remain clean and vibrant. Includes original pottery ring base.
Dimensions
Overall: 8.25" Height x 8.5" Diameter
