Beginning in the early 1970’s, Joseph Lonewolf revolutionized the world of Santa Clara pottery by incorporating his sgraffito (lightly etching the surface of the clay) and incised (more deeply cut into the clay) designs.  This is one of the very few miniatures bowls which Joseph made during his career.  Seedpots with a small opening typically provided more of a canvas for his designs.  This piece from 1982 is very highly polished red and there are etched designs around the rim. The body of the piece has Mimbres inspired mosquito, cricket, worm, bee and other insects encircling the piece.  Each one is different.  They are each highlighted with a white clay slip.  Near the base the bowl is also fully polished with a small etched star.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay with his name and hallmark.  It is in excellent condition with no  chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
