Charming miniature Shipibo ceramic pottery figure, handmade in Ucayali, Peru by Lily Sandoval. Lily created this figure to represent the spirit of the apacharama tree; it has a friendly, happy go lucky smile on it’s face. Two leaf “ears” emerge from the top. This one is missing just a bit of glaze from it’s nose, as shown.
Lily’s process is entirely traditional: clay dug from the earth, cleaned by hand, blended with apacharana, mineral colors derived entirely from ground rocks, fire outdoors in the open and glaze from tree resin.
Height: 1 3/4”, 4.5 cm
