Bring a profound sense of devotion and heritage into your sanctuary with this extraordinary clay Pieta figurine by renowned artist Juan Jose Aguilar. Capturing the tender moment of a handmade angel comforting a Christ sculpture, this authentic Oaxacan folk art piece is individually molded from Mexican pottery, intricately hand-painted, and finished with striking golden wings.

Handcrafted Disclaimer

Because each piece is individual, slight variations in color patterns, exact weights, and minor surface variations are natural characteristics of true craftsmanship. To maximize the lifespan of your pottery, we recommend moving your angel indoors during severe freezing winter conditions.
