Description

This striking ceramic Medium Elephant figurine is a unique piece of folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, a community celebrated for its vibrant pottery tradition. The elephant is sculpted in a dynamic walking pose with its trunk raised for good luck. The body is finished in a high-gloss, deep cobalt blue glaze, contrasted by black accents on the ears and feet, and white tusks. This decorative figurine powerfully showcases the high-contrast color and smooth, stylized finish characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region’s artistry.
