Presented is an exceptional, authentic hand-painted bird sculpture from the legendary artistic center of Tonalá, Jalisco. While Jorge Wilmot is primarily known for stoneware, this rare piece is crafted in the exquisite Tonalá paper-mâché tradition—a medium favored for its ability to hold vivid, high-gloss colors and intricate fine-line detailing.
The sculpture features a stunning deep-red base adorned with meticulous floral and feather motifs characteristic of Wilmot’s signature style. At 7 inches wide, it is a significant and vibrant display piece, blending Mid-Century Modern aesthetics with traditional Mexican folk art. It is remarkably lightweight yet durable, finished with a smooth, protective glaze.
