Ortega’s Mexican Folk Art Sculpture – Dreaming Dog in Bed with Sombrero Dog Spirits, Signed
In this delightful and surreal ceramic sculpture by Ortega’s, a sleeping dog lies cozily under a pink and red blanket, dreaming with arms raised in expressive repose. Above the headboard, seven floating dog heads—each wearing a vibrant sombrero—are suspended on thin wires, forming a halo of whimsical dream spirits.
Handcrafted in the barro betus tradition by the Ortega family of Jalisco, Mexico, this piece features the family’s signature style: bold colors, humorous themes, and glossy pine resin glaze. Every detail, from the dog’s snoring face to the vivid palette, radiates the playful spirit of Mexican folk art. Signed "ORTEGA'S" on the underside and likely accompanied by the original label (not visible in this view), the sculpture is an engaging and imaginative collectible.
A perfect addition for collectors of Latin American folk art, canine-themed decor, or surreal, story-driven sculpture.
