'Great Houses of Mexico' (pair)
(NOVICA)
Brick arcades line the sidewalk of Tapalpa, a small alpine town in the sierra of West Central Mexico. Tables in the shade invite passersby to chat over a steaming pot of coffee. Guillermo Fern�ndez de Castro presents a delightful portrait of the quiet cobblestone street.
Ceramic jar, 'Fiesta Garden'

Floral motifs and verdant vines cover this jar like a fiesta garden. The Castillo Family works in the style of classic Talavera ceramics to create a colorful ginger jar.
Jute wall hanging, 'Hail to Deer'
(NOVICA)
The millenary cave paintings in the state of Baja California Sur inspire the artwork of Mexico's Rommy. Painting with acrylics, Rommy replicates a scene found in caves of the San Fernando Sierra, as well as the San Nicholas River.
Ceramic cookie jar, 'Golden Harvest'
(NOVICA)
Colorful flowers blossom in a finely detailed composition by Jorge Quevedo. Painted by hand, relief motifs add to the cookie jar's fascination. Quevedo's art is inspired by Mexico's traditional Talavera pottery.

Colonial buildings surround a quiet Mexico City plaza steeped in history. Centered by a fountain, it leads to the Temple of Santo Domingo with its tall bell tower.
'Young Virgin of Guadalupe'
