$ 900.00

Debra Duwyenie is well known for her wonderful miniatures and incised designs. Each piece is stone polished and then it is etched before it is fired! This seedpot is one of her most complex designs.  Around the top is a feather pattern.  Below is an avanyu, tadpoles, and small fish.  Below the avanyu are ten turtles, each with a different design on its shell.  One turtle has a wavy design and it represents Preston and his shifting sand design of pottery.  The turtles are surrounded by a LOT of fish.  The lid was made by Preston Duwyenie and it is cast from cuttlefish bone in silver.  It is cut in the shape of a jumping fish and has a shifting sand type appearance on both sides. The bottom of the seedpot is signed by Debra and with Preston’s hallmark.
