Oaxacan Hand sculpted Face Jug

Oaxacan Hand-Sculpted Face Jug
Tierra Collection

Each Face Jug is a one-of-a-kind expression of Oaxacan artistry, shaped entirely by hand using the region’s natural barro rojo clay. The sculpted visage — calm, abstract, and quietly powerful — is a nod to pre-Hispanic effigy vessels once used in rituals to honor gods and ancestors.

Its organic form and natural finish highlight the clay’s raw texture, while the minimalist expression captures the human spirit with timeless simplicity. Whether styled as an art object or functional vessel, this piece brings a sense of presence and heritage into any space.
