Jennifer Moquino is known for her clay vessels and also her amazing animal figures. This wolf is one of her larger figures and it is fired black and the back is fully polished.  It is realistically etched on the face.  The back of the piece is designed with a wolf track in the center.  Off to the sides are eagle feathers, rain and lighting and traditional Santa Clara mountain patterns.  The face is wonderfully realistic and as well the wolf tracks on the feet!   All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today!
