Terrakota

Terrakota is an art form so universal in its scope, yet emblazoned with the distinct imprint of the native soil. The art of kiln burnt pottery ware, graceful and harmonious, provides the perfect counterfoil to the amazing legacy of stone sculpture.

Terracotta artifacts demand a very high degree of application and motivation. The polish on the final figure conceals an enormous volume of tireless toil and watchful attention.
