🔍 Cultural Fusion & Distinctive Features
1 - Facial Characteristics: Unlike typical Mexican pottery, this angel has distinct Peruvian features. Its subtle, elevated eyes, prominent nose, and small marked mouth give it an ancient, mysterious charm.
2 - Black Painted Hair: The hair is styled straight and painted black— a feature often seen in pre-Inca Wari culture, which has influenced Peruvian art for centuries.
3 - Rounded Body: The rounded, substantial shape is characteristic of both Wari sculptures and Chulucanas pottery from northern Peru, giving it a warm, earthy feel.
4 - Spiritual Touch: With angelic wings and a small bowl perfect for a candle, this piece reflects Christian influences, possibly as a post-colonial creation blending indigenous and European elements.
🖐️ Handmade from terracotta, this candle holder’s earthy texture and aged patina bring a timeless beauty to any space.
It's perfect for candle lovers, pottery enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for folk art that tells a story.
