Dolores Curran creates 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 piece is a round “box” which is incised with a feather pattern.  Each feather is highlighted in white.  As the piece is turned, there are two red sections, one which is a matte red flower.  The other is a polished red figure.  The band on the lid is an incised avanyu.  The lid top is fully polished and the underside has a stylized plant design.  The piece is amazingly complex in design for its size!  It is signed on the bottom.
