This lovely little statue was made and signed by world-renowned artist Josefina Aguilar. You can read about Josefina Aguilar at her Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josefina_Aguilar and also here: https://www.davisart.com/blogs/schoolarts-room/visiting-josefina-aguilar-in-oaxaca/ This lovely little breastfeeding mother is 2" across at her base, 3" across the brim of her hat, and 7.5" tall at the topmost tip of the flowers. She weighs 10.8 ounces. She is charming, and vibrant, and a favorite in my collection of breastfeeding statues.
I acquired her from eBay to add to my collection 20 or so years ago.
