A Miniature Masterpiece by Maestra Guillermina Aguilar (GAA)

This 2.5" hand-modeled ceramic figure is a classic example of the "Grandes Maestros" tradition of Ocotlán de Morelos. Hand-signed GAA on the reverse, this piece is the work of Guillermina Aguilar Alcántara, one of the legendary Aguilar sisters celebrated for their vibrant contributions to Mexican Folk Art.

Artistic Detail & Iconography

This figure represents the Virgen de la Soledad (Virgin of Solitude), the patroness of Oaxaca. The distinct white area under the chin is a stylized rostrillo, representing the traditional white lace wimple that frames the Virgin’s face in sacred processional statues. Adorned with a three-tiered golden crown and hand-painted gold leaf filigree, this piece showcases the "layered value" and whimsical narrative style for which the Aguilar family is world-renowned.

Provenance & Pedigree

Sourced from a premier private collection of Oaxacan masters, this piece was curated alongside works by Josefina Aguilar and other members of the Aguilar family. It represents the authentic, museum-quality craftsmanship supported by organizations like FOFA (Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art).
