Item Description
These figurines were made by the Tarahumara for the tourist trade. Famed for their running abilities, the Tarahumara people, or Raramuri as they call themselves, are native to Mexico, speak their own language, and live in caves and cabins mostly in the Sierra Madre. They live mostly by agriculture but have become increasingly dependent on tourism, including making and selling figurines like these that appeal to sightseers/
This set of Tarahumara figurines consists of a wooden doll in native dress, a llama, a turtle, and a set of pine needle baskets. They were made by artisans who live in Copper Canyon, Mexico.
