Curran, Dolores – Small Round Box with Feather Design Lid
1.5"w x 1"h (w/ lid)
$ 800.00
This is a very detailed lidded polychrome round 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. This rim and base are fully polished red. The central band is incised with clouds and flower designs. The lid is incised in the center with a feather pattern. The edge of the lid is painted with an avanyu. Note as well the inside of the lid is also incised with a flower design! It is amazingly intricate 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”.
