Brown and Turquoise Old Tim...

All aboard to the market at Xela! Sometimes known as chicken buses, these old fashioned vehicles carried people and merchandise to and from rural market towns. Noted Guatemalan ceramicist Vitelio Orozco crafts a diminutive three-inch bus in ceramic, hand-painted in brown, white and turquoise. On the roof, a bright palm leaf basket carries a variety of ceramic and pinewood fruits and vegetables.
