Ethel Shields (1926-2021) was a daughter of Dolores Sanchez and the mother of Charmae Natseway and Judy Shields.  She was known for her figurative works over the years.  This is one of her figurative owls.  It is coil-built and painted with bee-wee and red clay slips.  All the feathers are painted around the entire piece.  The eye, beak, and feet are red.  It is not just a creative form but nicely painted to match the form.  It is signed on the bottom, “Ethel S.”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
