Carved from banded onyx, this vintage donkey figurine embodies the quiet strength of folk tradition. Its stylized lines and marbled grays and creams evoke both playfulness and endurance.
A mid-century Mexican piece, it reflects the artistry of local stoneworkers who shaped native onyx into soulful, symbolic forms — it belongs equally to a shelf of curiosities or a poetic vignette of raw, storied objects.
Details:
Style: Folk art, primitive, decorative sculpture
Era: 1980s
Material: Banded onyx (Mexican onyx)
Condition: Very good vintage; minor natural inclusions and small edge wear consistent with carving
Dimensions: 3" H x 3" L x 1" W
