Founded in August 1977 by the painter Fernando Llort, the La Semilla de Dios cooperative has as its main objective to be a source of revenue by creating work for all those who belong to the cooperative. The majority of these families depend on the work provided by the cooperative and its sales. Everything is created, realized (menuiserie) and painted by hand by the inhabitants of La Palma who were trained according to the artistic techniques of Fernando Llort. Handcrafted objects represent the moments of life in La Palma as well as religious symbols. Above all, they have a decorative and educational purpose. Lucky for us, whomever travelled to El Salvador, was kind of enough to write the date and remind us that this was typical artwork of the time. It's a stunning hand painted leather wall hanging, depicting presumably, a nature seen of a variety of birds, a horse, and butterfly surrounding a small village. Perhaps something to do with agriculture? It's ready to hang, with the original wood dowels and string still in working order! Condition: Excellent Size: W 37.75cm x H 52cm Weight: 397g...more
