Mauricio Morales crafts a small ceramic bird figurine that features exquisite hand painted detailing. "The process for making these small animals was something I learned when I was small...since then it has become a passion of mine," says the Guatemalan artisan, adding that the bird sculpture is made for, "...all of those who love birds." He starts by mixing the clay and carefully shaping the figure, and then he adds aluminum legs and feet. After the bird is fired, he sands it, mixes his own colors, and paints the figurine. The result is a charming and precise depiction of a robin complete with brownish-grey plumage, black head, and orange breast.

Sent to my sister in law for her birthday and she loved it! Nice size and signed by artist. Pretty realistic.

Not only do I collect bird figurines, but the robin is my late mothers bird totem. I bought this and Cardinal from this artist as that is my late fathers bird totem. These two pieces are so beautiful—they are a heart warming reminder of my parents. They sit together on a shelf, reunited and safe within my home. Thank you for such fine work.

I got both the Toco Toucan and Keel-Billed Toucan. They are wonderful and fit perfectly in my sunroom.
