This Mexican clay bird is one such art piece. Hailing from Tonala, a city in Mexico long known for its clay folk art, this handpainted owl is a one-of-a-kind work that represents the talent of an entire community.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnlike Frida, whose name and art are synonymous, the work of many Mexican folk artists in this area unfortunately most often go unattributed.
