Sculpted from clay, the figure features an expressive, organic form with irregular contours and surface texture, emphasizing its handmade nature. The creature's body is lightly glazed in soft shades of pink, lavender, and cream, giving it an iridescent, dreamlike quality.
Perforations along the sides, back, and crown suggest it may have served a functional purpose-possibly as an incense diffuser, small lantern, or purely as a decorative folk art object. The underside reveals unglazed, raw clay with visible tooling and firing marks, further supporting its studio-made or outsider art origin.Likely dating to the mid to late 20th century. In good vintage condition with minor imperfections consistent with its handmade construction. A unique and expressive collectible for lovers of surreal ceramics and fantastical art forms.
