Made by acclaimed Mexican folk artist, Josefina Aguilar’s studio, this colorful clay sculpture of a woman in the market with a turkey on her head. And that’s truly something you see in some of the weekly markets in Oaxaca—the woman is selling the turkey.

Brightly painted and expertly crafted in clay.
