Description
A fascinating mixed collection of three vintage folk art vessels, perfect for a shelf display or holding small treasures. The set includes:
Terracotta Face Jar: A rustic red clay jar featuring a relief-molded face with large ear spools, reminiscent of pre-Columbian Moche or Inca pottery. It has a matching domed lid.
Bolivia Souvenir Box: A small hexagonal ceramic box featuring a hand-painted colonial church scene and the word "BOLIVIA".
Sand Art Oval Box: A distinct oval box with a rough, sandy exterior texture. The lid is hand-painted with a stylized Indigenous figure wearing a tableta headdress (reminiscent of Southwest Native American Kachina or Yeibichai imagery, though often found in mixed global collections).
Key features:
Variety: A mix of textures (glazed, matte sand, raw terracotta) creates visual interest.
Function: All three are functional lidded boxes suitable for jewelry, coins, or keepsakes.
Decor: Adds an instant "traveler's collection" vibe to any room.
Detail: Hand-painted and hand-molded features.
