John Aragon is known for his use of Mimbres imagery on his pottery.  This is one of his open bowls.  Inside the bowl, it is fully painted with eleven different Mimbres animals.  There is a mountain lion, ram, raccoon, deer, elk, bear, and more!   It is not just the variety of animals but how he paints them to create a cohesive overall design.  The outside rim of the bowl has a raincloud design.  The bowl was made in 1989.  Today, John makes very little pottery, but his pieces have their distinctive style.  The piece is signed on the bottom, “John F. Aragon”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
