6.5" x 5"

$ 300.00

Garrett Maho is known for his traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  This tile is very tightly painted with traditional Hopi birds as the designs.  The birds beaks are in black and circling towards the edges while the wings and tail feathers are placed in the diagonal center of the tile. The 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.
