Madeline Naranjo (b. 1916) was known for her deep carved pottery.  This jar has a round body and an elongated neck. The body of the jar is fully carved with a water serpent.  Around the neck is a cloud pattern.  The jar is very deeply carved with a lot of variation to the design around the piece.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Madeline Naranjo” on the bottom in the clay.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  While Madeline no longer makes pottery, her work is certainly a classic and her legacy continues in the pottery of her granddaughter, Madeline E. Naranjo.
