For your consideration is a Artesania Rinconada figurine. This is the Wild Boar. This is a vintage piece done in the 1970's. This piece is 3 1/8" tall. I am not sure if the tusks are broken or if they were made that way. The ones I have seen show different lengths of tusks. Check my other pieces also listed.
These pieces were started by twin brothers Jesus and Javier Carbajales in 1972 in their home in Montevideo Uruguay. They were born in Spain in 1930. They loved the animals of nature, so started making the clay animals as they remembered them. They fired the clay and then if enameled, had to refire them at a higher temperature.
Thanks for looking. Check my other listings for more vintage, antique, collectibles, clothing and more.
