A round-bodied vase by José Miguel G. M. of Taller Manos Que Ven, in San Antonino Castillo Velasco, Oaxaca. A tall, straight neck and a high loop handle rise from the full body, which stands on four small human legs with bare feet.
Modeled by hand in red clay and fired at low temperature in a traditional kiln; the surface keeps the fine marks of the hand and the warm color of the clay.
