This is a large thin walled plate from Dolores Curran.  She continues to create intricately incised and painted pottery.  She was inspired to create these red polychrome incised and painted by her husband, Alvin Curran.  He was known for his incised San Juan style pottery in the 1990's.  This plate is fully incised on the front and the rim is polished. The design is an eagle tail pattern in the center, surrounded by clouds.  Around the center of the plate are rounded feathers which are slipped with mica.  The inner rim of the plate depicts the avanyu in the river.  Note there are three avanyu and the design ends in a flower. The outer band of design are wing over the waves.  The rim of the plate is polished a deep red and the back is incised with two stylized corn plant patterns.   All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips. All the designs are incised (cut very shallow) into the clay!  They are then highlighted with the clay slips.  Amazing detail and imagery!  The plate is signed on the bottom in the clay.
