fertility goddess, Mauna Loa

Distinguishing
|
Mauna Loa in script on back. Initialed on bottom but can't make it out.
|
|
7" x 2.25" 8oz. capacity. Very detailed female form. The arms separated from the body makes this a very stylelized mug.

This fertility goddess mug is from the Mauna Loa in Mexico City, and has the "Mauna Loa" logo printed on its back. The mug has a black, semi-matte glaze, and is of a woman down to mid-calf. The arms are separated from the body and clasped in front. Another version of this mug has more swirl details, and is not marked Mauna Loa, but is likely from the same location.

You must have the Mauna Loa goddess with swirls. Besides being a little taller with more ornate markings on the back, the arms are separated but not as much.

I love how the arms are not at all bound to the body where the hands clasp. My own is very similar but there's only a small gap where the hands meet instead of all that air.
