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 is one of her “Swish Pots”.  She said that while they are basically a seedpot pot, she has put a small bead inside them.  She says you can “swish” the bead around and make a wish”.  The top of the seedpot is fully polished and etched with a hummingbird.  There is a spider web and a spider on the side.  There are four inset pieces of coral on the top along with areas which are sienna in coloration.  The spider on the side is etched into the clay and has an inset piece of turquoise.  Barbara says she uses spiders as they are good luck symbols and the turquoise is a male spider.  The lower half of the piece has a mica slip. The bottom of the piece is signed in the clay, “Than-Moo-Whe”, which is her name in Tewa.
