WOW!  This is an amazing piece by Kevin Naranjo.  He creates beautifully incised pottery with realistic scenes.  This bowl is fully polished and designed and the rim and the medallions have been two-toned after the firing.  The rim has a cloud pattern above a very complex avanyu (water serpent).  Below are alternating feather and cloud designs.  Note the precision of the feathers!  The remainder of the bowl has four large medallions etched into the clay.  In the center of each are a buffalo, deer, elk, or bear.  They are realistically etched and there are pueblo scenes in the background.  Note in the designs separating them there is a bear track, deer track, thunder, and rain design.  It is a very complex piece and elegant in form and design. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Kevin Naranjo”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
