WHY WE LOVE IT
This Barro Negro Ceramic Anatomical Heart Wall Art Sculpture was handcrafted in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, by fourth-generation ceramicists. Each heart is shaped from locally sourced clay using ancestral techniques.

Its intricate hand-carved details and sculptural anatomical form make it a beautiful statement piece, while the traditional firing process gives the barro negro its signature deep black color. Display it on its own or as part of a gallery wall for the perfect artisanal touch to any wall.

about the brand:

Familia Ortiz

BARRO NEGRO CERAMICS

For four generations, the Familia Ortiz have been crafting barro negro, a revered Oaxacan black pottery tradition. Their artistry not only preserves this time-honored craft, but also sustains 10 families in their community.

Hand-shaped in San Bartolo Coyotepec, Oaxaca, Barro Negro (meaning "black clay") is known for its deep, smoky hue, and natural sheen. This ancient pottery dates back to the Monte Alban period (500 BC), where it was originally crafted into jars and vessels. Today it remains a living tradition of Zapotec and Mixtec artisans, embodying centuries of cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
