Chulucanas Peruvian Folk Art Pottery Figurines
Item/Description: Set of six Peruvian Chulucanas folk art pottery figurines from Chulucanas, including a central embracing couple and five musicians or villagers in traditional dress. Handcrafted in ceramic using traditional regional techniques, the figures are modeled in rounded, gourd-like forms inspired by calabash shapes and finished in the characteristic black smoked slip with polychrome accents in earthy red, green, and blue. Several examples are signed by master artisan Segundo Sosa, associated with the mid-to-late 20th century revival of Chulucanas pottery. Subjects depict scenes of daily life and celebration, with musicians holding instruments such as drum, stringed, and wind instruments. Hand-formed construction with matte surface and natural firing variations consistent with studio folk art production.
