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 over 50 Mimbres insects!  Each of them is different.  There are bees, butterflies, worms, ladybugs, mosquitos, and more!  The overall appearance is one of both ancient and modern.  The outside of the bowl has a raincloud design.  The bowl was made in 1992.  Today, John makes very little pottery, but his pieces have their own distinctive style.  The piece is signed on the bottom, “John F. Aragon”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
