Story Behind the Art:

Born in 1928, don Ernesto Basilio and his son, Eri , have 40 years of artisan tradition. Their work begins with the raw materials, a special kind of clay brought in blocks from the state of Oaxaca. Finely ground, it is blended with other kinds of clay to form an extremely strong medium, resistant to heat and impact. It is the exterior decoration that distinguishes the Basilio Family's work. Created totally by hand with steel points, today this work falls to Erick, whose hand is steadier. Each piece is totally unique; no two pieces are ever identical. But all carry authentic pre-Hispanic motifs, and the family specialty is Maya art.
