Signed Unglazed Vintage Guillermina Aguilar Adam & Eve Tree of Life Pottery Sculpture

Description

The attention to detail on this unglazed sculpture is incredible. It features everything from the moon and sun to the serpent and Adam and Eve getting naughty. Guillermina Aguilar is a master folk artist from Ocotlan in Jalisco, Mexico. Her artwork is found in museums world wide including at the Museo de Arte Popular in Mexico City. It is incredibly rare to find a signed Aguilar piece that was kept unglazed. Normally her work would be bright and colorful but we love this matte red look even more.
