Vintage Mexican Paper Mâché Folk Art Figurines | Set of 4

Amazing set of four vintage handcrafted Mexican folk art figurines. This is a beautiful example of traditional cartonería (paper-mâché) artistry, depicting campesinos or "village people" in stunning detail. Each figure is unique and tells a story of rural life. The faces and hands appear to be made of painted clay for expressive detail, with bodies and clothing formed from paper-mâché and starched paper, all mounted on dark wooden bases. This set includes 4 figures: Woman with a clay-style water pot (Water Carrier) Man with a full sack of grain Crouching woman with a basket of "coal" Standing man with a mustache and a pack on his back Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a rustic, handmade charm. Please see all photos for details. There is some intentional aging and texture common to this style of art.
