Absolutely spectacular Macaw cazuela, bowl, by Manuel Rodriguez Guillen. This marvelous piece is a bowl formed by the carved out wings of the Macaw. 

Macaws were considered a deity for the Paquimean culture, very appreciated in the ancient Casas Grandes civilization.

On the bottom of the cazuela Manuel painted the legs and claws of the bird!

An amazing work of art!!
