This lot consists of a set of 3 ceramic figures by Josefina Aguilar. These hand-sculpted figures depict 3 ladies nursing 3 man children. These pieces were collected in the 70's and 80's and were created prior to this time period in Mexico. Josefina Aguilar is a Mexican folk artist from Ocotl·n de Morelos, Oaxaca. She is best known for her small clay figurines, called muÒecas, an art form she learned from her mother. Aguilar uses red clay to create depictions of everyday village activities, religious and folkloric scenes, famous figures and special Day of the Dead statues. Collectors of her work include Nelson Rockefeller, who discovered her work on a trip to Oaxaca in 1975 as well as repeat visitors to Oaxaca, who come to see her latest work. These ladies are 10.5" tall, x4"x4"
