This is a very unusual seedpot by Joseph Lonewolf.  He began making pottery in 1970-1 and he quickly achieved fame for his sgraffito (etched) designs.  This seedpot is from 1978 and it is a unusual in that the designs are carved into the clay.  There are three quail along with a feather and plant design.  There are sgraffito designs on the plants and birds.  The remainder of the piece is fully polished and note the linear designs in the background behind the carving.   This piece is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
