Description

A clay rabbit figure totem that is decorated with small animal figures and flowers. The totem depicts a large standing rabbit adorned with flowers around its arms and head and smaller rabbits, birds, and a large fish adorning its body. This totem is representative of Blanco's work. She was known for her use of finely shaped pieces of clay that were pressed onto the main sculpture to create details and decoration. This is most often called “pastillaje” after the frosting decoration on Mexico’s special occasion cakes but also called “bordado” (embroidery)
