Charming miniature Shipibo ceramic pottery hummingbird figure, handmade in Ucayali, Peru by Lily Sandoval. Her 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. In Shipibo culture, the hummingbird is a happy sign, and when it is found around your home, it is a sign that good things will happen.
