$48.00

A beautiful, highly collectible piece of authentic South American folk art: a vintage 1980s Brazilian terracotta clay figurative sculpture handcrafted by the recognized regional artisan Hilda. Sourced directly from a fine estate collection, this piece showcases the historic ceramic modeling traditions of the Northeast region of Brazil.
The sculpture depicts a vibrant, traditional \"Ciranda\" (or Roda) circle dance, featuring six meticulously hand-modeled figures holding hands moving to a communal folk rhythm. Each earthenware figure is individually sculpted with unique characteristics and hand-painted in festive, joyful primary colors detailed with whimsical white-dotted dress patterns.
The unglazed, raw terracotta base features the crisp, native impressed \"HILDA\" maker\'s mark stamped directly into the clay.
