This is a large-scale, signed example, showcasing Coronel’s unmistakable hand — deeply carved, rhythmic line work forming a dramatic, radiating mane that gives the piece both movement and presence. The form is powerful yet refined, with a stylized face that captures a quiet intensity rarely seen in decorative ceramics.

The surface features a richly developed, earthy glaze with a tactile, almost volcanic texture — a hallmark of Coronel’s brutalist aesthetic. The result is a sculpture that feels both primitive and modern, equally at home in a curated mid-century interior or high-end contemporary space.
