I bought this clay sculpture of the Last Supper made by an Ocumicho artisan when I went to the Folk Art Festival during Semana Santa in Uruapan, Michoacán about a year ago this week. The 14 piece clay sculpture above is the last one of five very different pieces, some of them with mermaids, which I purchased, packed, schlepped all over Mexico and then shipped back to the United States. While at this festival, I had an adventure with a cab driver who made it his mission to help me find some boxes for packing. We looked in lots of different places with no success but eventually he took me to the back of a giant commercial business and we both climbed into their compactor to retrieve cardboard boxes that could be used for packing these fragile pieces. All five pieces made it home without a scratch including this fine piece!
