$ 300.00

Garrett Maho is known for his traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  This tile is very tightly painted with a traditional Hopi style butterfly as the design.  Garrett has taken classic designs and used them for the wings of the butterfly!  It is very finely painted and traditionally fired.  The tile is painted with a deep red is an additional clay slip while the black is painted with bee-weed (a plant).  The tile has been traditionally fired so that there are blushes on the surface.  The piece is signed on the back in the clay.
