Mexican Folk Art Wood Carving Traditional Dance Handmade Alebrije One of a Kind
By Ruby Fabian, Manuel Cruz Prudencio
Located in Queretaro, Queretaro
The young dancers wear an armor of threads over their bodies, showing off an ancient indigenous art form. Colorful thread combinations characterize the huipil dress, a rectangle of cloth handwoven on a backstrap loom that dates back thousands of years in used in Zapotec culture. Through symbols in their dresses, Zapotec women wear their identity, history, culture, power, social and marital status, religion, personality, and power.
In this folkloric dance, “Flor de Piña” (Pineapple Flower), innocence surrounds young girls as they dance and hold pineapples on their shoulders as an offering. Their long braids represent purity and their bare feet symbolize their connection to the Earth.
This folkloric dance is part of the “Guelaguetza” (name in the indigenous Zapotec language) Festival Celebration. Since pre-hispanic times, the indigenous people of Oaxaca have honored the goddess of maize with this festival, performing and offering gifts to ensure a good harvest.

African Dogon Tribal Bronze Figure “Mother with Child" Burkina Faso, 1970s
Located in Salzburg, AT
Fantastique African Dogon tribal bronze figure “Mother with Child,” Burkina Faso, 1970s
The heavy figure shows a dynamic representation of a mother in motion
with her toddler in her arms.
The object is so appealing because it has been elongated and the legs, arms,
and headdress are exaggerated.
The ribbed headdress is central, and there are also large earrings and a
loincloth.
The casting is very detailed and finely crafted.
Due to its weight and size, we have mounted the object on an acrylic base.
Dimensions of the figure: W 18cm x D 6cm x H 69cm
Bronze figures associated with the Dogon people mainly originate from Mali and
Burkina Faso. The Dogon are known for their cosmogony and religious rituals,
which are reflected in their art. Dogon bronzes...

Unique Pair of Contemporary Art Painted Fiberglass Boy Sculptures Signed
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a unique pair of contemporary art painted fiberglass boy sculptures signed… by the artist … we think “Laqi”.
These sculptures are a pair of the ‘cutest’ pieces of contemporary sculpture that we have seen for a while.
We really wish we could identify and learn more about the artist, but what we do know is that these belonged to a former artist and art and collectibles dealer in New Orleans. She treasured these and they came with her to Dallas. She was very active in the New Orleans art scene in the early 1990s.
The sculptures appear to also have a practical function as planters.
One features a boy’s denim jeans and waistcoat in a standing position and the other a boy’s denim overalls in a seated position.
Both are made of fiberglass which has been painted and textured. Exceptional detail to the outfit. Right down to the buttons and clasps and the sneakers and shoelaces.
Mottled green and black in color.
We cannot find anything quite like these anywhere!!
Specific provenance: These sculptures were acquired by Ms. Naomi Baggett in or circa 1990-1999. Originally from North Carolina, an Air Force Veteran and JAG Advocate, Ms. Baggett after her service moved to New Orleans and worked as a paralegal until setting up and operating an Art & Curiosities Store in the famous New Orleans Hotel Montleone between 1990 and 1995. Her store was called ‘Baggetelle’. It was featured in various industry magazines and hotel documentation. The store specialized in selling miniature French Quarter Houses which were used as jewelry boxes. Ms. Baggett was an artist herself and handmade and hand painted these houses along with a partner. She received orders for these miniature houses...
