Some Favourite Art From Other Countries

This week's inquiry --

Do we have any favourite art
in our homes from other countries?

When I visited the island of Cozumel
off the coast of the Mexican Riviera,
I bought this locally crafted terra cotta mermaid
who came with her own feline "purrmaid" by her side --


From Maui, I brought back a block print
depicting Pele the Volcano Goddess, she of the fiery hair,
enthusiastically stoking the lava pits of Haleakala --


The Tree of Life is a favourite symbol of mine
so I could not resist buying this wall hanging woven by
an artisan in Peru (but purchased here in Edmonton) --


It also serves a practical purpose by hiding
the breaker box located behind it, LOL!
