Day 16 - Mexican ceramic cat

[vilakins]

This is one of a pair of matched hand-painted ceramic cats. It has similar colouring to the lizard so I wonder if that's a traditional style. The cats come from Tonala but the lizard just has "Mexico" underneath.

I gave her a hot background to remind me of Mexican sun in this very cold winter. :-) On her back she has two leaves, two flowers, and a bird, all green. :-)

I have a Czech Anglophile friend who says it is her favourite; it moves her to tears.

Lovely icon!

Awww, how nice. I doubt your Czech friend is alone there. The icon is the inside of the octagon tower (the lantern).
