Curran, Dolores – Small Rectangular Box with Eagle Lid
$ 1,100.00
This is a very detailed, lidded polychrome rectangular box 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. The box has a rectangular shape. The long sides are incised rainbows, prayer feathers, and rain designs. The short sides each have two eagle heads. The rim, base, and even the bottom are fully polished. The box has a lid that fits into the piece. It is sculpted to have two eagle heads as the design. They are each incised with additional clays. The base of the lid is polished red. The bottom of the lid has flower designs. WOW! There is a lot of design area for the lid and the piece for the size. All the colorations are from natural clay slips. It is an extraordinary amount of time to create pieces intricate both in design and to use the various clay additions. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Dolores Curran”.
