- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
Latin America, Mexico, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A large and finely rendered composition delineated in a colorful palette on handmade Mexican Amate paper - a bark paper that dates back to Pre-Columbian times and is still hand made by the Otomi Indian artisans of Mexico using the same traditional methods of their Mesoamerican ancestors originating some 3000 years ago. Amate bark paper has been customarily used to create religious and legal texts as well as attractive figural compositions like this example. Here we see what appears to be an outdoor country scene featuring seven campesinos - both women and men at work, including a woman filling a water jar with water pumped from a nearby well, several campesinos moving about the native landscape that is filled with maguey plants and blooming flowers, and two men climbing a hillside with their burro. Adding to the quaint scene are several thatched roof vernacular edifices dotting the hillside. The entire composition is surrounded by a decorative floral festoon border. Set under glass in a custom mat and gilded frame. Size: 14.75" W x 10.75" H (37.5 cm x 27.3 cm) Size: 29" W x 24.75" H (73.7 cm x 62.9 cm)
