This is a mug shaped like a man sleeping in a Mexican sombrero, his head tucked down to his knees, and hat shielding his eyes. The theme of the "Sleeping Mexican" was extremely popular in the 1950's-1960's and can be seen on numerous plates, S&P shakers, figures, and lamps from a variety of manufacturers. Best estimate on the edition run of this mug is Daga's standard of 600-1200.
