A tiny hand-painted ceramic "sorpresa" (surprise) from Ilobasco, El Salvador, shaped like an ear of corn peeking through its husk. Lift it open to reveal a miniature hand-painted scene inside: a woman giving a baby a bath, with a jug and basin beside her. This traditional folk art form has been practiced by Ilobasco's ceramic artisans for generations, packing incredible detail into a piece small enough to hold in your palm.
