This jar by Johnathan Naranjo captures his unique style of sgraffito and etching on his pottery.  The jar is fully polished and has an asymmetrical rim.  The design on one side is the back of a Buffalo Maiden Dancer.  It is an interesting perspective as the bundles she wears on her back have eagle feathers and a Sun Face medallion.  The feathers in her hands are also seen in the etched designs.  There is a simple water design around the neck and the remainder of the piece is simply fully polished to a high shine. The various colors are simply created by the depth of the etching into the clay!   Jonathan continues to amaze with these designs and techniques.   The entire piece has been traditionally fired to create the brown coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  Johnathan has won numerous awards for his pottery and  Johnathan is definitely one of the young potters to watch!
