My new objet de désir: beautiful hand made terracotta art statue

 

 

On my trip to Belfort Sunday Flea market I found this hand made, terracotta brightly coloured bull cart art statue.
I did some research and found out that ROSA COTA - (ROSA COTA stamped or incised into the bottom of the base, look below) indicates a local Portuguese artist (1901 - 1983). She was known for her hand made, hand painted clay statues.

Even it is Portuguese, this pair of bulls reminds me of beloved artist Frida Kahlo about whom I will soon write about on this blog... So, it is a perfect item for collectors of colourful Mexican style statues like me!
