Description :

High-quality paper mache folk art from the Ser Mal workshop in Tonala, Jalisco, Mexico. The Ser Mal workshop was founded by renowned Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante & Melquiades Preciado in the 1960s. There are many imitators of the Ser-Mal style, but when held side-by-side, the superior craftsmanship and painting technique of this workshop is easily discernable. 

This piece was purchased by our client's father at the workshop in the mid-1970s; in great condition. Measures 6.5” H x 6” W.  Note - because each piece is hand-painted by the workshop artists there may be occasional paint drops and variations..

More animals from this workshop in Lot #144 & Lot #157.
