Sun figurines
The sun is a very important symbol in Mexican culture. From the remote Mayan and Aztec times when the sun was the symbol of divine power to which human sacrifices were made, to the colonial times when it was associated with domesticity, family, and abundance. According to the Mexicans, the sun also symbolizes transience and rebirth referring to a new day, week, month and year. The sun represents security from its warm rays as well as a factor that allows for increased vegetation. The sun symbol is often found in designs placed on Mexican ceramics, textiles, paintings and sculpture. The sun figure may be painted in a single color, or it may be decorated with ornamentation reminiscent of Aztec design.
Figurines of Mexican sun from polychrome ceramics
Figurines made of polychrome ceramics come from La Puerta de la Mixteca and are often referred to as Mixtec ceramics. It is a specific way of production that has its roots even before the time of colonization of Mexico by the Spanish. Each of the figurines is marked with a signature, which guarantees that they were made by an artisanal Mexican artist. Because of their unique character and craftsmanship, sun figurines fetch high prices and are very popular among collectors all over the world.
