This is an intricately designed lidded box by Jennifer Moquino.  The entire box and the lid are fully polished.  Each of the side panels has a different bird etched into the clay. There are Pyrrhuloxia, Scaled Quail, Blue Jay, Northern Cardinal, Gambel’s Quail, Greater Roadrunner.  Each is intricately etched into the clay and then there additional clay slips added to create the various colors.  The lid of the box is exceptional with a Stellar’s Jay on the top.  It is highly detailed and stunning in its design sitting on the tree branches.  It’s not often that we see a box this size from Jennifer, or one so intricate!  Jennifer is extraordinary in her use of realism on her pottery and capturing a moment in time.
