which I especially love for the pips (the lush red and arching sides of these diamonds make me swoon

C. 1940s Mexican Folk Art Bullfighters Set oversized penny this one on the LaI've come across a few of these little Mexican wire bullfighting figures over the years, and have always found them pretty amazing, but I've never found as large a set as this, allowing for some pretty exciting arrangements! These were all handmade, c. 1940s I believe, of wire and clay, and hand painted; I really love the exuberant gestures of the figures with their waving arms, and a red cut paper muleta pierced by the arm of one of them.
