archeological site
of the ancient city of Atzompa just up the hill from the modern town. Antonia has signed this piece on the bottom inside of this figure....

"Born to folk artist parents, Antonia began working at age five, playing with pieces and then creating them for sale. Always enhancing her ceramic work, she is motivated by contests and sales; it was extremely important to her to receive honorable mention in FOFA’s 2013 young artists’ competition. Antonia believes we must value the earth, and emphasizes the opportunity we have to create things with natural earth products, such as clay, molding the earth and creating things not yet conceived."
