    6.5'x9.5' Tray
    Paco Padilla Mexican Artist-Solved by shareurpassion
    Female figure with 2 fish on her head.
    Found her very beautiful.

    What is the meaning of a female with fish on her head?
    You know I can't make out that crazy signature! Nothing new here...but I find this little tray to be very beautiful.
    Wish I could frame it but it doesn't sit flat.....maybe the hubby can figure it out.

      did an "Ask Cortana"
      and
      google image search on both signature and pic#1
      nothing similar. Dang!!
    2. melaniej melaniej, 8 years ago
      looks to be "Picasso" style....maybe Padilla Pottery.

      Very weird art. You certainly do buy the strangest things! [;>)))

      Last name looks like Padilla...

      My mother would say: "what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over." And I do so wish I hadn't seen that she had two fish on her head. Perhaps just take the fishes heads away? 'Cos it is a marvellous picture. Is it painted on ceramic or wood, or tile perhaps?

      I personally love this piece and wouldn't change a thing.
    8. OneGoodFind OneGoodFind, 8 years ago
      Agreed. Strange and gorgeous. :) Love it!

      I love this! Looks like Paco Padilla. Look under Mexican pottery and his name. I love when I can read the signature!!
