A unique set consisting of two handmade terracotta sheep figures from Kosiv. The set comprises a standing sheep figurine and a matching dish, suitable for holding jewelry or small trinkets.
The set was created by the Ukrainian artist family Trushyk from the town of Kosiv, a place world-renowned for its traditional ceramics. Key features of these specific pieces include:
• Provenance: The underside of the jewelry dish bears the hand-incised signature "Trushyk Kosiv."
• Craftsmanship: The figures feature an intricate, incised pattern of small circles mimicking the lamb's curly wool—an example of the sgraffito technique.
• Artist Status: The pieces are signed by the Trushyk family. Mykhailo Trushyk is an award-winning and officially recognized master of Ukrainian folk craft.
• Cultural Significance: The Kosiv ceramics tradition is inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This has recently boosted international interest and demand among folk art collectors.
