Description: Untitled Document Gallery Store Mata Ortiz Hawk Señor Tomas Quintana - Artist Approximate Dimensions: Height - 6.75 inches Width - 5 inches Weight - 1 pounds 7 ounces Here is a culturally decorative figure of a sitting hawk with half open wings, 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 Hawk 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. 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. Mata Ortiz is legendary, both the village and the pottery taking it's name, and I am proud to be the largest and most trusted seller of these works on eBay! In the 70's a young man began experimenting with recreating ancient pottery he would come across. He used the same clay sand mixtures from materials found in the area in which the ancients lived and made their pottery. The same firing techniques using the same local materials eventually created the same magnificent results. Half a century later and much of the village of Mata Ortiz has taken on these incredible skills for creating masterpieces, with each artist contributing hers and his own sense of beauty. The designs are bold, earthy and individualistic. Paint brushes consisting of one or two human hairs create the finest lines. Paints are developed from minerals found in the surrounding desert. These creations are truly unique transformations that only this small little region of the world can create from it's own soil. I have been tangentially around Mata Ortiz for 30 years. Now I am spiritually bound by their overwhelming beauty and intense and intricate designs. When I look at one of the pieces, I feel I am meeting in person the artist who created this, and am visiting his home. bout Desert Buckeye Gallery DESERT BUCKEYE GALLERY is my specialty store featuring high end items from fine jewelry to display pottery, center piece minerals, and other highly collectible earthy related masterpieces.
