Signed Ortega Folk Art Rooster – Hand-Sculpted & Painted
Colorful hand-sculpted and hand-painted wooden rooster, signed Ortega at the base. This lively folk art piece features a glossy black body accented with bold patterns in red, yellow, green, and purple. Standing on an oval base, the rooster’s playful expression and vibrant palette make it a striking decorative work.
The Ortega name is associated with generations of New Mexico folk artists, including Joe and Mary Ortega, both known for whimsical carved birds and animals. While the exact attribution of this piece is not confirmed, the signature and style suggest possible ties to this tradition. Ortega is also a recognized surname among Mexican folk artists, further underscoring the collectible interest of this sculpture.
