Internationally known for its unique personality, character and originality, the Artesania Rinconada Collection is truly one of the finest examples of contemporary ceramic design.
Artesania Rinconada figurines are carefully hand-carved and detailed in fine grain earthenware ceramic material. After initial kiln firing, decoration continues with the hand application of colored slips and enamel glazes used to accent and highlight individual design characteristics. Each enamel glaze must be re-fired individually in order to preserve its distinctive coloration.
This is one of the earliest creations of the brothers Carbajales, item #2 in the catalog and long discontinued.
It is in near perfect condition, with only slight wear marks on the bottom of the hooves and crazing of the enamel on the tusks.
It's 3 1/4 inches from nose to tail and stands 2 1/2 inches high. Signed "AR"
