Description

Guillermina Aguilar Oaxaca Folk Clay Figures — Parrots & Fruit, Signed

Hand-crafted by Guillermina Aguilar Alcántara of Ocotlán de Morelos, this expressive pair celebrates everyday Oaxaca with irresistible charm. One woman steadies a sunny yellow basket brimming with fruit; her companion stands calmly as three emerald parrots nestle on shoulder and arm. Modeled by hand in red clay, then painted in vibrant, matte pigments, the figures show Aguilar’s signature touches: floral blouses, sculpted sashes, confident profiles, and deft incised detailing. The basket figure is neatly signed “G.A.A.” on the reverse—Guillermina’s mark—affirming authorship from the most renowned dynasty of Oaxacan muñeca makers.

Condition
Fair. One bird has a repair; scattered rubs, tiny paint losses, and handling marks consistent with handmade pieces. Stable, presentable, and ready to display—please review photos.
