This is a large incised jar by Tomasita Montoya.  The rim and base are fully polished red.  The body of the bowl is incised with interlocking butterflies.  Note on this piece that the lines are precise and deeply incised.  The incised area was also slipped with mica.  Amazingly, the inside of the jar was also fully polished tan (the natural color of the clay).  This jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Tomasita Montoya”.  This is certainly Tomasita at her very best!
