Mexican Folk Art Hare with Birds Candleholder painting of boy Signed and dated at bottom

Signed and dated at bottom center

This seems to me the sort of drawing that should inspire a novel--or

with a forged metal blade held to the wooden body with two tangs

The vase measures 10 3/4" tall with a diameter of 4 3/4" at base

Mexican Folk Art Hare with Birds Candleholder painting of boy Signed and dated at bottomI'm always on the hunt for vintage Mexican folk art animals of any sort, and all the better if they are candleholders, too! I really love this hare with its tall ears, painted whiskers and smiling red mouth, plus this pair of sweet little yellow birds riding on its back. The red and green color scheme of its base and blanket make it perfect for the holiday table though I'd keep it there year round! 6" t x 6 1 2" l x 2 3 4" w. Great vintage condition,
