Tonalá Pottery Nativity Tree — 14 Figures, Wall-Mount Branch Display, 50”
Charming Tonalá pottery Nativity scene, handcrafted and hand-painted in the folk art tradition of Jalisco, Mexico. The composition features fourteen finely modeled clay figures—including the Holy Family, angel, shepherds, and animals—mounted on a natural branch structure with straw accents and a gilt star topper. Designed for wall display, this sculptural piece evokes the árbol de la vida form, blending rustic natural elements with Tonalá’s characteristic earthy glazes and stylized painted details.
A beautiful example of regional craftsmanship, this 50-inch Nativity embodies the warmth and creativity of Mexican folk art. An eye-catching statement for collectors or as a distinctive holiday centerpiece.
Condition
Good overall. One candle is absent and the angel figure has an old repair, as shown. Minor wear to straw and surface consistent with age and handmade nature. Displays beautifully.
