$ 350.00

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 small jar has a wide shoulder and an elongated neck.  The jar is etched with feathers around the shoulder.  There are six inset pieces of turquoise.  Where the turquoise has been inset, Barbara has “two-toned” the jar so it has sienna highlights.  The jar 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.
