This is from the estate of a retired Air Force Colonel in Texas. I was told they were stationed in Peru and his wife bought this statue.

It is suppose to be from a well know artist. He never liked it.

If anyone knows anything about it please email me.

I live in Peru and I remembered seen this kind of ceramic products while traveling through different parts of the country.
I searched online and found out they were created by an artist named "Ediberto Mérida".
They are considered some kind of "protest art" because instead of portraying beauty, they show the suffering and hard work of the Andean people.

Hope this data helps!
