hand sculptures

If you love the sea and all the magical creatures that inhabit it, then this gift set curated by the NOVICA team showcasing delightful accessories handcrafted in Mexico is just what you need. Expertly fashioned from recycled papier mache and carefully painted by hand in vibrant shades, the whimsical alebrije sculpture has the body of a seahorse and the wings of a butterfly. The sophisticated flower pot is intricately shaped from ceramic into a hypnotic shell form, elegantly adorned with a glowing white hue and ready to imbue your home with a serene marine touch.

With this sculpture, Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "iron horse." Rearing on its hind wheel, a half-horse, half-motorcycle hybrid kicks its front legs. Ramirez crafts this sculpture by hand from upcycled metal auto parts, including spark plugs, springs, cogs, and nuts.

Capture the essence of Mesoamerican legacy with this mesmerizing wall mask paying homage to the revered jaguar god, an emblem central to the heart of significant ancient civilizations. Meticulously sculpted from papier mache by Mexican artisan Morneo, the remarkable mask unveils a figure donning a commanding jaguar headdress. A symphony of intricate hand-painted motifs and vibrant hues, reminiscent of the captivating folk art style of alebrijes, adorns the mask's surface. Safeguarding its allure and enriching its luminosity, layers of protective lacquer enfold this extraordinary creation.

A cheerful decorative item but also a symbol of Mexican culture, this recycled paper statuette is the perfect addition to your home decor, bringing a vibrant cultural accent that will captivate anyone. Handcrafted by the Orozco Family, the artwork is a classic Day of the Dead piece, depicting a carmine skull painted with floral details in a colourful palette.
