This hawk is perched decisively on top of this pottery. Or is it an oversized egg? At its feet is a highly detailed and menacing scorpion. This scorpion will soon be dinner. The pottery (or egg) is covered in wonderful Paquime designs which originated from the culture a thousand years ago. Lightning bolts, half suns and geometric shapes are everywhere. The brick red and black glazes on top of the white clay draw out the drama. Even the feathering on the hawk, its speckled breast and its talons are given detailed attention.
Manifested by Señor Manuel Pedregón Guillen, this folk art, this artist, are essential to the heart and soul of the village of Mata Ortiz.
Señor Manuel Rodriguez Guillen signs his work on the bottom.
The ring is included with the pottery.
