This is a very rare Old Prototype Whale-shark by Juan Carlos Irigoin artist for the aR brothers in the first and early years, but never produced. One of a kind and I know of only about 2 of these being made, both different in color and carving in the body. Hand made and finished in Uruguay its over 1foot across and heavy ceramic, probably the largest piece you will find by Rinconada.
I own some very rare and prior to first year critters if you are looking for something special.
