John Aragon is known for his use of Mimbres imagery on his pottery.  John learned to make pottery from his mother, Florence Aragon.  This is an exceptional large water jar.  It is coil-built, made from native clay, and painted with bee-weed.  There are numerous interlocking Mimbres lizards as the design, and no, I didn’t count them!  They cover the entire surface of the jar!  It has a very modern appearance.  John has an amazing ability to fit so many images onto one piece and still have it look cohesive! The piece is signed on the bottom,, “John Aragon”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
