This is a remarkable piece from Luciano Naranjo.  He is the son of noted potter, Paul Naranjo.  This jar is an elegant shape with a wide shoulder and sloping neck. The entire jar is fully polished and the designs are etched into the clay. There are deer, a bear and wild turkey.  Each of these animals is symbolic to Santa Clara Pueblo.  Flowing through the background of the jar is a water serpent (avanyu), which ties the entire piece together.  Note as well the background tan area where he has etched away the polished surface, Luciano then scraped it down to create a striking contrast between the polished and matte surface.  The color from the firing on this jar is stunning as it is deep, rich brown.  It is great to see a younger potter taking chances on such complex shapes and designs.
