Ancestral Ceremonies Handcrafted Ceramic Tripod Sculpture with Lizard Motif

Luis Alberto Gutierrez

(1)

Luis Alberto Gutiérrez pays tribute to his country's pre-Columbian heritage with this striking ceramic sculpture painted with a terracotta color created using pulverized stone. Long-tailed lizards appear to crawl up each of the handmade sculpture's three slender legs, while two rings of dots adorn the base of the vessel's long neck. The tripod's design is influenced by similar ceramic objects crafted by Costa Rica's indigenous peoples many centuries ago. "These are the vessels our ancestors used in funeral rituals, where they deposited the funeral remains together with other ceramic pieces and metals; these pieces carry with them a great deal of history and they comprise many years of antiquity," explains the artisan.

Jovial Elephant Black Ceramic Jovial Elephant Decorative Sculpture

Kpando Pottery Fesi Shed

(2)

Add some cheerfulness to any room with this jovial ceramic elephant. Artisans from Kpando Pottery Fesi Shed craft the rotund pachyderm by hand and fire it in a wood-burning kiln. Removing the burning hot piece from the kiln, they plunge it into sawdust which bursts into flame, depriving the piece of oxygen and turning the clay dark.

Raku produces absolutely unique pieces and no two are ever alike. Thus variations in tone and surface texture are to be expected, confirming the uniqueness of each vase.

Ancient Wisdom Orange and Brown Seated Man Chorotega Pottery Statuette

Elpidio Chavarria

(3)

What ancient wisdom does this little man have to share? Handcrafted by Chorotega pottery artisan Elpidio Chavarría of the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, this ceramic statuette of a seated man with headdress and glasses is the natural sand color of the clay with details painted in dark orange and brown.

Chorotega pottery is completely handmade with traditional techniques passed down through the generations for 3,000 years, and one of the last surviving cultural elements of the Chorotega people indigenous to Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region and Nicoya Peninsula. Chorotega pottery is made from local clay mixed with a very fine freshwater sand. The artisans shape the clay on hand-operated pottery wheels and hand-polish the art piece to give it a smooth texture and luster. Designs are etched by hand and the pieces are painted with natural pigments made from pulverized local colored rocks mixed with water, then fired in traditional wood-burning brick kilns. The result is a beautiful, earthen pottery unique to this region.

The tree of life is a quintessentially Mexican expression of folk art, often a biblical allegory told in clay.

Floral Egg Large Oaxaca Black Pottery Floral Egg Shaped Sculpture

Anakarem

(66)

"This design is inspired by our customs. The egg is one our our symbols at Easter," Anakarem says. Incised by hand into a ceramic sculpture, flowers wear a halo of raindrops. The talented artisan works in the time-honored black pottery tradition of Oaxaca, with techniques learned from her father. The fired clay is burnished to a sheen with a piece of quartz or obsidian. Because the figurine has a rounded bottom, it requires its circular display stand.

Royal Moche Warrior Peruvian Archaeological Replica Moche Soldier Clay Vessel

Walter Jose Acosta

(88)

Tensed to leap into battle, a terracotta Moche warrior wears the regalia of the king's forces. Walter Jose Acosta realistically depicts the young fighting man with a shield on his wrist and a fearsome truncheon. The short tunic permits freedom of motion while his helmet is strapped on to ward off blows and is crowned with a ceremonial tumi blade. This huaco, or terracotta vessel is a realistic portrait of a man from Peru's pre-Inca Moche culture. Archaeologists believe these "hard portraits" were crafted for ceremonial purposes to guarantee a life after death. They have been found in tombs, and may be a way of identifying the dead as a member of Moche society.

Buana

Bali and Java

Before his days with NOVICA, Buana sold his jewelry designs door-to-door in the tourist areas of Bali. Business was tough, and local store owners were often slow to pay. All this changed when he joined NOVICA 7 years ago.

Buana now employs 28 of his neighbors to keep up with demand, and can now afford to send both of his children to school.
