Glazed Clay Bull with San José de Gracia Michoacán Sugarcane Paste Decoration: Mansión Iturbe Artisans Collection

• This piece is the result of one of Michoacán's most painstaking techniques. Master artisan Doña Luz manually molds and adheres hundreds of small flower-shaped circles onto the bull's body, creating an organic and detailed texture that requires days of meticulous work.

• Aesthetics and Contrast: The body boasts an intense yellow that captures the light thanks to the traditional glaze. The bone-white horns offer a sober contrast that highlights the figure's strength.

• Artist's Authenticity: As a work born from the hands of an artisan and the fire of the kiln, it presents natural variations and subtle imperfections. These features are the hallmark of a unique piece and the guarantee that it does not come from an industrial process.
