Vintage Clay Chiva Bus Figurine - Hand Painted Latin American Folk Art 6"
Add a vibrant touch of traditional South American culture to your collection with this charming, hand-painted ceramic folk art bus. Inspired by the iconic Latin American "Chiva" or market buses, this piece features incredible detail, including a roof rack piled high with colorful market vegetables like carrots and cabbages under wire cargo netting, alongside rows of little passengers looking out the windows.
It makes a wonderful display piece for collectors of global folk art, pottery, or unique travel memorabilia.
Condition Note
Flaw: There are three rows of passengers inside the bus. The second row of people has come undone from its internal base; however, it remains safely entirely inside the bus. It will just need to be re-secured or glued if desired.
Overall Condition: Otherwise in excellent vintage condition with vibrant paint and no external chips or cracks.
