Here is an impressionistic figure of a scorpion, hand formed by Master Craftsman Tomas Quintana. Señor Quintana favors images of native wildlife which reside in and around his artists colony of Mata Ortiz in the heart of Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Scorpion is hand decorated with designs that date back a thousand years ago to his ancestors of the Paquime Culture. Each and every part of this creature was hand fashioned and fired in an outdoor, homemade oven. This is the first scorpion I have seen created by Señor Quintana
Each of Señor Quintana’s figures are unique and made from scratch, so no two are ever alike.
Señor Quintana signs his work on the underside.
