Description

Pair of Jesús Díaz Tonalá Ceramic Plates – Kokopelli Folk Art

This striking pair of hand-painted ceramic wall plates, signed “Jesús Díaz,” features vivid Kokopelli imagery in terracotta, turquoise, and black, framed by geometric and desert motifs. The finish and style suggest the barro bruñido technique commonly associated with Tonalá, Jalisco, and similar pieces have been attributed to Antonio de Jesús Díaz Medrano—a contemporary Tonalá artisan. While the exact identity remains unconfirmed, the signature and stylistic cues align closely with Tonalá tradition. Both plates include original hanging loops for display.

Condition:
In good condition overall. Some wear to the finish, with areas of finish wear verso and traces of tape adhesive, as shown.

Size:
15 1/2 inches diameter each.
