Description: This is a pair of Dias de los Muertos Clay Figures of a skeleton Man and Woman. This pair was all hand made and hand painted by Jose Juan Garcia Aguilar. Jose Juan Garcia Aguilar is the very talented younger son of Josefina Aguilar. In recent years Jose Juan has established himself as one of the premier sculptors in the world of Mexican folk art as is evident by the detail and color tonalities in his work. I have a number of pieces by Jose Juan. See photo # 5 and take a look at my Ebay Store for a larger selection... The man measures: 7 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The woman measures: 7 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches deep.This whimsical folk-art figure is a fine example of a time-honored traditional handicraft called muñecas, but with a modern twist. The Aguilar family are world renowned clay figurine folk artists from the village of Ocotlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. These artists capture the joyful celebration of everyday life and cultural traditions of pueblo life in Mexico. His pieces are crafted from locally collected clays then fired in a pit kiln before being meticulously painted. It is a wonderful piece of Mexican Folk Art and tribute to the Love and Creativity of Mexican Craftsmen and Artists...
