A vivid vintage 1960s 70s handmade paper maché Mexican folk art Fishing Clown design sculpture from Tlaquepaque. Entirely handmade hand-formed paper maché that is then hand-painted in super bright colors! Fine details on the face with painted features over a bright white clown makeup! In addition, there are also different colors of materials overlaid on top of the paper maché in pink orange and blue on the sleeves, and beige on his trousers. His fishing pole is paper maché wrapped metal for strength, and the paper maché fish hangs from a blue fabric string. He's standing with open arms, and in one hand is a fishing pole with a dangling fish. So unique! I've had literally hundreds of these over the years, and this is the only fishing clown I've seen! Super rare design! He stands about 10.5" tall by 7.5" wide at front by about 4" deep. Unmarked, but unmistakably the work of the talented paper maché sculptors of Tlaquepaque. These paper maché sculptures are delicate and easily damaged from inappropriate cleaning or just mischance, but this one is nearly flawless with just an accumulation of dust in the deep crevices, very slight wear at bottom from display, and a very small bit of loss of the lacquer and paint on the other hand (the one not holding the fishing rod). Easily touched up if it bothers you. No cracks, no serious damage, no missing parts. In excellent vintage condition as noted above with no damage or detractors whatsoever,
