Polychrome Pieces Displayed on Paper Cut-Outs
|
|
Polychrome Pottery is of particular
charm and appeal. Objects are formed freehand or in molds and
coated with gum lacquer which imparts the characteristic sheen
to the piece. To obtain the gloss when colors are used, paint
is mixed with the lacquer and then applied. Of the pottery types
in Mexico, Polychrome Pottery seems to most preserve the Indian
legacy of freeform design and creative display of their present
view of life around them. It is unique in its cultural appeal
and has become an artform in its own right. |
