$ 500.00

Madeline Naranjo creates beautifully carved and polished pottery.  Each piece is coil built, stone polished and traditionally fired.  This jar has a more classic shape with the high round shoulder. It is fully carved with two stylized buffalo.  Each buffalo is carved with additional lightning designs.  As the bowl is turned there area hills carved in the background. The top and bottom are fully polished.  The central area is deeply carved and matte.  The contrast of the matte and polished surfaces works perfectly. Madeline’s matte areas are sanded and perfectly smooth so that there are no indentations or areas where the matte might make a shadow.  Her designs are always innovative and beautifully executed.  The jar is signed on the bottom.
