This piece is a work of strong material impact, estimated to date back to the Vintage period (second half of the 20th century).

Subject and Style: The design is in the Primitivist/Brutalist style. It depicts a totemic figure or mythological creature, with a stylized face and a richly textured body. The forms are organic and deliberately rough. Material and Finish: Made of terracotta (majolica). The entire sculpture is coated in a thick, rich, glossy green glaze, with drips and color variations that enhance its three-dimensionality and rough appearance. Base: The base is circular and irregular, with exposed terracotta parts. It bears the artist's hand-engraved signature/monogram on the bottom (difficult to decipher). Ideal for collectors of artist ceramics (Studio Pottery), lovers of the Brutalist style, or as a statement sculptural piece for a modern decor.
