The community, population 2,000, is one of the designated localidades (localities) in the municipio libre (municipality) of Casas Grandes , one of several such pueblos in a wide, fertile valley long inhabited by indigenous people . Mata Ortiz is located at the base of a mountain known as El Indio and on the west bank of the Rio Palanganas, a tributary of the Rio Casas Grandes. The ancient ruins of Casas Grandes are located nearby.Mata Ortiz pottery, or Casas Grandes , is one of the finest and most innovative ceramics in the world.Tthe entire pueblo of Mata Ortiz creates outstanding handmade, coiled pots or ollas , following centuries old methods.Inspired by the Paquime, Casas Grandes ceramics, the potters of Mata Ortiz create contemporary works of art, often incorporating Mimbres designs shared by the Southwest, Native American cultures.With an olla as their canvas, the potters of Mata Ortiz have imprinted in them not only re-creations of ancestral symbols, but they have searched within their own spirit and creativity and have been able to conceive a unique artistic language, creative and original. They have gone through the imitation of pre-Hispanic ceramics, and have moved on to a sophisticated creation of contemporary art.International Buyers - Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
