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. :-)

Another cat with personality! I like the way the flora and fauna actually simulate cat markings.

I couldn't resist this little pair.
