Faux finish on Xolotl Aztec statuettes

Statuettes of Xolotl, Quetzalcoatl’s twin brother; originally sculpted in plaster, they were then cast in Forton resin with the addition of bronze and copper powders and then edited. A variety of faux-finishes were used on the pieces using precise patinas to oxidise the metal powders to give them their distinct and unique look. 6”x 6”x 11” in size.
