About the barro betus technique:

Barro betus is a traditional technique originating from Tonalá, Jalisco. Its name comes from betus oil, a natural resin used to seal and give shine to pieces after painting them. This artisanal process highlights the colors, protects the clay, and provides that characteristic glossy finish of Tapatío art.
