Title

National Shield of Guatemala, Centroamérica

Description

Mandala forthrightly asserts that it was “Made by Timoteo Tzun Poros” during a Creative Artists Migrant Program Services (CAMPS) workshop. Its design is based upon a shield created in 1871 that celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Guatemalan independence from Spain on 15 September 1821: a resplendent quetzel, crossed guns, and laurel wreaths. Poros adds a small Guatemalan flag to the mandala. Note: image quality is affected by shrink wrap enclosing the art work, due to its creator never returning to retrieve it.
