Statue, De fluitist - 48 cm - Terracotta

A beautiful and striking large decorative sculpture in Pre-Columbian style, inspired by the centuries-old funerary art from West Mexico (Nayarit/Jalisco culture). This is a high-quality, handmade piece of Mexican handicraft from the 20th century with a splendid weathered patina (antique look).
The sculpture depicts a seated figure with a ceremonial headdress and ear ornaments, holding a traditional wind instrument.
Fully hand-built terracotta / pottery (traditional clay-working method, recognizable by the authentic rough interior and the original vent hole on the back).
Measuring 48 cm high, 25 cm wide and 24 cm deep. An impressive and substantial piece that truly serves as a statement piece in the interior.
In good, robust vintage condition with a beautiful, distinctive aged appearance.
A unique object for lovers of an eclectic, bohemian or colonial interior, or for collectors of ethnografica and tribal art.
