This Clay figure of "Circle of Friends" has a single woman in a Yoga position sitting in front of a candle holder. The shade of the clay can vary from piece to piece, with muted shades of tan, brown, green, blue, and all combinations thereof. These Circle of Friends are hand made and formed from Clay in a very primitive way in Mexico. This is an art form that is considered to be Pre-Colombian. The "Friends", the figures have an Aztec Indian type look, that dates back to before the Spanish came to what is now South America. Legend has it that if you give this carved clay sculpture to a person you care about, the bonds of friendship will forever be cemented. Crafted in Mexico, its Pre-Colombian design is rooted in the custom of gathering around a fire to celebrate peace and brotherhood. Circle of Friends make ideal gifts for Retirement, Weddings, Anniversaries, Friendship, and other occasions.
