Diego Aguino was a son of noted potter Martina Aguino.  After she passed away in 1997, he began making pieces on his own that are both polished and etched. This is a figurative clay pendant that is fully polished and fired red. The front is etched with a Pueblo dancer and inset with a piece of turquoise.  It is set on a leather strap.  The piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed, “Soe-Khuwa”, which is Diego’s name in Tewa.
