Product code: Top Signed Martin Ibarra (Morales) Vase
Incredible! This tripod is by Martin Ibarra Morales (look him up!) from Jalisco, Mexico. Ibarra's work is highly sought after; he is most famous for his santos pottery figures which are featured in museums. This piece was inspired by the Aztec god Huitzilopochtl (whose effigy is hand etched on vase). This deity's name means hummingbird lord. Aztecs believed that dead warriors were reincarnated as hummingbirds - hence the three hummingbird legs that comprise the top tripod. It is just gorgeous. 7” tall x 7” at widest. Selling for my father, who received this as a gift from a friend who lives in Ajijic, Jalisco. FIRM price. This won't be reduced, and I am not responding to offers.
