I would like to know if anyone can assist me in learning more about the maker of this bird sculpture. I do not see any other markings showing whether or not it is silver. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome.

Joaquin Humberto Tinta of Ecuador produced these types of pieces ( 20th century).
Can't say for sure this is his mark.

Hi!

If it is marked Talleres Tinta, Ecuador, it must be from Joaquin Tinta's Gallery.

I recently visited Tinta's Gallery and Shop in Ecuador and I was impressed by the high quality of their work.

This information is from their business card:

Address:

Riofrio 5-84 y Av. Abdon Calderon
Salgolqui - Pichincha
Ecuador

Telefax: (593) 2 2330 362
Phone: (593) 9 6999178

E-mail: tinta@ecnet.ec / artesaniastinta@andinanet.net

I hope this information is helpful for you.
