These traditional little clay figurines are a part of Mallorcan cultural heritage and a symbol of the island

“Siurells” are a vital part of Mallorca’s rich artisanal heritage, although their precise origin remains largely shrouded in mystery. These delightful and versatile ceramic figurines have withstood the test of time and are still cherished both locally and internationally.

The poet Robert Graves and the artist Joan Miró, two prominent figures in Mallorcan art and culture, played a significant role in enhancing the notoriety of the “siurells”. In particular, Miró had an extensive collection that he used as a source of inspiration in his art and are reflected in the colours he often used.
