Olentzero

Olentzero is a mythological character from the Basque Country.

He is a charming charcoal burner who lives in the bush throughout the year and goes down to town for Christmas to bring gifts on Christmas Eve to the homes of the Basque Country.

It is a ceramic piece made by hand, so no two are the same. It is modeled in stoneware and decorated with oxides, cooked at 1260ºC.
