Charmae Natseway is known for her exceptional painted pottery and use of distinctive forms. This large seedpot is painted on the top with an intricate Acoma design.  The central medallion is a star pattern, painted with fine-lines.  Surrounding the medallion are Mimbres deer, Big Horn Sheep, and antelope.  They are separated by geometric designs patined with red clay and fine-line.  Note how the bodies of each of the animals has a different design.  All the various colors are from natural clay slips.  The piece is signed on the bottom, “Charmae Natseway”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is a striking balance of traditional and historic imagery on a very modern form.
