Naranjo, Madeline – Four Interlocking Avanyu Jar

4.25"w x 4.75"h

$ 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 shoulder and short neck.  The design is four interlocking avanyu which encircle the piece.  Note how the polished ones are carved over the top of the matte ones, creating several layers of carving!  The contrast of the matte and polished surfaces works perfectly, especially with the polished neck.  Her 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.
