Sanchez, Russell – 15.5″ Tall Long Neck Jar with 176 Inset Stone, Flame Lid (Ribbon)
$ 18,500.00
This is a stunning long-neck jar by Russell Sanchez. He continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery. Each piece is perfectly coil-built, stone-polished, and etched. The shape was inspired by the work of his great-aunt, Rose Gonzales. The jar has rows of checkerboard squares. They are set with coral or slipped with mica. The square represents corn and prosperity. Separating each row of squares is a row of hematite hei-shi beads. The neck of the jar has cloud designs, while there are water designs near the base. The jar has a flame lid, which is a new design innovation for Russell. They are complex in drying and polishing. The jar was fired to a silvery gunmetal coloration. The 176 pieces of coral were all inset after the firing. It is signed on the bottom, “Russell”. There is a blue ribbon from the 2026 Santa Fe Indian Market.
