1.5" long x 1"w (pendant only)

$ 275.00

This is an unusual pendant by 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 late 1990s.  This pendant has an incised turtle on one side, and a flower on the other side.  They are incised into the clay and highlighted with various clay slips.  It is an extraordinary amount of time to create pieces intricate both in design and to use the various clay additions.   The pendant is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Dolores Curran”.
