Johnathan Naranjo is one of the creative young innovators in Pueblo pottery.  This jar is coil-built, stone polished and fired a brown coloration. Johnathan etches his pieces after they are fired and lightly etches into the top layer of the polished surface! That creates the reddish-brown coloration of the design.   This piece has a traditional Pueblo Butterfly Dancer.  She wears traditional clothing and is surrounded by realistic butterflies and flowers. The Butterfly Dance is a traditional Pueblo Dance asking for rain, and health for all living things, thanking the beautiful butterfly for pollinating plant life. The piece is exceptional in its detail and realism.  It is signed, “Johnathan Naranjo”.  Johnathan has won numerous awards for his pottery and  Johnathan is definitely one of the young potters to watch!
