|
| "Lupitas" are slip-cast clay dolls made by
two
companies in Tonalá, Jalisco, a satellite of Guadalajara noted
for its pottery. Lupita is a nickname for Guadalupe, and is thus a quintessential name for a quintessential Mexican icon--a young, unmarried woman, named after the patron saint of Mexico. |
Lupitas represent "working girls," and come in
several styles—the fruit server, the bread server, the bird seller, the
tortilla server, the vegetable server (twenty-five in all).  |
Whatever the young woman is carrying in her basket or
tray
is matched in a still life on her apron. Each Lupita has an
embroidered
border, painted, on the collar of her blouse, a distinctive hairstyle,
and earrings. Finally, we simply get a kick out of people’s comments about the Lupitas’ eyes; one could get lost in them. |
