Hubert Candelario is one of the few potters working at San Felipe Pueblo.  This is one of his “puzzle pots” which has a deeply carved design which encircles the entire surface of the piece.  The interior of the carved designs is slipped with a black mineral clay.  The surface is slipped with a micaceous clay which gives it the color and shine.  There is a modern fell about this unique design which has a very free flowing motion across the surface of the seedpot.  This seedpot is from 2004 and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks restoration or repair.
