Set of Two, Three-Sectioned Tzintzuntzan Plates from Michoacán, Mexico - 7" Diam. (Each)

Two similar three-sectioned Tzintzuntzan plates. They were handmade and handpainted and are in excellent condition. The color palate includes a cream background with dark brown animal imagery, one of a bird (pájaro) and the other of a fish (pez). Both are unsigned and pieces in this condition are hard-to-find.

They would make a great accent in a range of décor styles from Southwestern, Rustic Coastal Modern or California Casual.
