This is Chamsa 65. There is a comic book/action figure/geek culture store in Tucson called R Galaxy. I occasionally visit to ogle the Star Wars figures. They also have a few boxes of toy fragments for $0.25 each - broken pieces of action figures and other, less recognizable objects. The pattern on this chamsa comes from one such fragment.

potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.
