A round wooden batea from Mexico, hand-painted with clusters of yellow, blush pink, and dusty blue flowers against a deep black ground, with small dotted berry clusters and loose green foliage filling in between. The worn rim and a hairline crack across the bowl speak to the piece's age, part of its vintage character and are reflected in the price.
Hand-carved and painted, the piece has the irregularity and charm of an object made by hand, no two brushstrokes quite the same. Substantial in scale, it works beautifully as a centerpiece, decorative catchall, or wall-mounted piece of folk art.
