    Description

    To begin my description of this very rare Michuocan clay truck I am going to say clearly that it has been broken both during it’s sculpting and afterwards. The clay from the Michiocan area in the northwest area of Mexico is very giving for sculptures but unfortunetely not hard and breaks easily.This very ornate truck with all manner of figures including the Diabolitos , pig, turtles, snakes and other unknown critters is a masterful work which probably dates to about the 50’s.
    One wheel was broken and repaired. The bed of the truck was broken while the piece was being made. The slats of the truck were also broken off and repaired.
    This truck is not perfect but it is superb!
    If you can live with it’s imperfections it will give many years of joy. If you need perfection please do not bid on this rare piece.
    Will be packed and shipped professionally with insurance. Measures 12 by 7 high by 6.5 wide.
    No shipping out of Continental Usa except to South America and Canada.
