Naranjo, Kevin & Maria Rose – Large Jar with Deer, Pueblo, and Avanyu (1996) Ribbon

Kevin Naranjo and Maria Rose Naranjo worked together on pottery in the late 1980s and early 1990s.  Marian made and polished the pottery while Kevin etched the designs.  This is one of their larger piece and a jar with a high, double shoulder.  The piece has an etched avanyu on the top of the first shoulder. The remainder has a Pueblo scene with VERY detailed Pueblo ruins as part of the design.  There are two deer also etched into the clay.  The jar was two-toned black-and-sienna in coloration, as is the deer.  The bowl is from 1994 and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed, “Kevin Naranjo and Maria Rose”.  There is an Honorable Mention ribbon from the 1996 Santa Fe Indian Market.
