About the Item

Artist: Unknown Date: Late 20th Century Medium: Paint on copal Style/Movement: Mexican Folk Art Dimensions: 11.5" H Additional Details: This hand-carved wooden figure depicts a skeletal, almost puppet-like nude form in a seated pose, with exaggerated anatomical details and minimal yet expressive painted accents. Its raw wood finish, movable joints, and stylized contours suggest a playful but provocative take on Mexican Mexican Folk Art--possibly echoing themes of mortality, sexuality, and satire often found in Día de los Muertos or calavera traditions.
