Remarkable condition AUTHENTIC PIECE
The ceramic production of the Iny Karajà women, very original, is centered on human representation. Through these statuettes, women express their creativity by diversifying forms and themes: scenes of daily life, mythical figures, ritual scenes, characters representing the different age classes of society. From a social reproduction function intended for little girls as toys with educational value, they have today become the symbol of Karajà culture for the outside world.
