Olinalá Mexican Traditional Lacquer, Gold Leaf and Oil Painting Art Urns
About the Item
Three urns, two trays, one gourd.
Turned solid tzalam (wild tamarind) wood; maque and lacquer carving; gold leaf; oil painting.
Commemoration, ceremony, and veneration of the ancestral are acts of a deeply personal, familial nature. Far removed from production and economics, they bring meaning and function to specific objects, actions, and times. Celebrations like Día de Muertos, for instance, happen far away from the public sphere: they take place in intimate settings where only family members and close friends take part. Appreciation for these traditions, however, is on the rise.
Lacquers, gourds, chests, and boxes made in Olinalá, Guerrero are valued for their history, aesthetics, and technique, but also for the endless possibilities they offer for commemoration, celebration, and memory.
La Urna, crafted by the Masters of Olinalá, showcases each of their techniques. It can contain relics and objects, or none at all: its true meaning lies in the rituals it is adopted for, in its emotional contents, and the Masters’ art.
This limited-edition piece was designed in collaboration with the Masters of Olinalá and Alicia D'Core for Ensamble Artesano, a unique initiative with the aim of promoting the productive activity of artisans in Mexico who have been affected by the uncertainty caused by social distancing measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, through formal value chains, and that guarantees fair income to families and communities.

- Mexican Folk Art Wood Carving Traditional Dance Handmade Alebrije One of a KindBy Manuel Cruz Prudencio, Ruby FabianLocated in Queretaro, QueretaroThe young dancers wear an armor of threads over their bodies, showing off an ancient indigenous art form. Colorful thread combinations characterize the huipil dress, a rectangle of cloth handwoven on a backstrap loom that dates back thousands of years in used in Zapotec culture. Through symbols in their dresses, Zapotec women wear their identity, history, culture, power, social and marital status, religion, personality, and power. In this folkloric dance, “Flor de Piña” (Pineapple Flower), innocence surrounds young girls as they dance and hold pineapples on their shoulders as an offering. Their long braids represent purity and their bare feet symbolize their connection to the Earth. This folkloric dance is part of the “Guelaguetza” (name in the indigenous Zapotec language) Festival Celebration. Since pre-hispanic times, the indigenous people of Oaxaca have honored the goddess of maize with this festival, performing and offering gifts to ensure a good harvest. Husband and wife, master woodcarver Manuel Cruz and wood painter...Category

Note: Shipping is possible via parcel which may reduce shipping costs Hey there! Do you need a hand? Or SEVEN?? We are here to help!! We have seven Folk Art style vases with molded hands of many vibrant colors to offer to you! This set includes 2 white, 2 maroon or burgundy, 1 green, 1 yellow, and one bright red molded plastic vases. That’s 35 fantastic fingers!! They are round at the bottom and kind of oval or egg shaped at the top. They are inner lined with burlap for extra reinforcement, but they are light weight, so if you want to put something a little heavier inside like an artificial plant, you may want to put a weight of some kind in the base. They will hold water, but for a “handy” tip… we certainly DO NOT recommend drinking from them! They are best used as unique, eye-catching décor!! They would host a wonderful spider plant...Category
