This exceptional piece from the Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection is a testament to the patience and virtuosity of the women potters of Michoacán. Each lamb is a unique work, individually molded and detailed by the renowned master artisan Doña Luz, from the community of San José de Gracia.
What distinguishes this work is the meticulous pastillaje technique. Doña Luz patiently applies small clay spheres—through a delicate pinching process—to emulate the density and curl of wool. The result is a sculpture with impressive tactile richness, bathed in an elegant bone white with a glazed finish that sublimely captures the light.
Master Artisan: Doña Luz.
Origin: San José de Gracia, Michoacán, Mexico.
Curated by: Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection.
Technique: Hand-modeled clay, precision pastillaje, and glazed finish.
Color: Bone White (with natural organic variations).
Symbol of Abundance: In popular tradition, the "Lamb of Abundance" is an essential amulet for attracting good fortune and economic prosperity to the home or business.
Designer Piece for Nativity Scenes: Its bone white tone and stylized design make it the ideal complement to enhance the aesthetics of high-end handcrafted nativity scenes and crèches.
Irreproducible Exclusivity: Although the pieces maintain aesthetic harmony, no two are exactly alike. The slight variations in the arrangement of the "wool" and the nuances of the glaze after firing are certification that you possess a unique work made by human hands.
