Barbara Gonzales is a great-great granddaughter of Maria Martinez.  She is known for her innovative pottery, which combines etched designs along with inset stones.  This jar is fully polished and fired a glassy black  The rim and areas of design are two-toned sienna.  Around the shoulder of the jar is an etched avanyu.  It is surrounded by thin line rain designs.  There are inset pieces of turquoise in the clouds.  There are two spiders, each with a coral inset.  Barbara says she uses spiders as they are good luck symbols, and the coral is a female spider.  Below the avanyu are several classic rainbirds. The bottom of the piece is signed in the clay, “Than-Moo-Whe”, which is her name in Tewa.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
