This is a handcrafted clay cup, inspired by Zapotec art from Oaxaca, Mexico. 

• The Zapotec people are an Indigenous people of Mexico, and their art often features ancestor figures. 

• Pieces like this are often made in Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, a town known for its pottery. 

• The figure's closed eyes and pale complexion may indicate that it represents a deceased ancestor. 

• The artwork is a modern piece inspired by ancient traditions, with some pieces being signed by the artisan.
