Signed lower center

This intricate Amate bark painting is a classic example of Mexican folk art from Xalitla, Guerrero. Hand-painted by Bernardo Hedei, the work features stylized birds nestled among elaborate floral motifs. The artist utilizes traditional techniques, applying high-contrast pigments onto hand-pounded bark paper, a method rooted in pre-Hispanic culture. The composition showcases the dense, rhythmic patterning characteristic of the Xalitla school of painters.

• Hand-pounded Amate bark support with organic texture
• High-contrast pigments on a dark wash background
• Housed in a black frame with a deep blue accent mat
• Frame measures approximately 13.5" x 9.5" overall

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The bark paper is well-preserved with no visible tears. The frame is structurally sound with minor surface wear from storage, and the matting remains clean and ready for display.
