Madeline Naranjo creates beautifully carved and polished pottery.  Each piece is pinch-built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired.  This jar is square in shape.  It has a square neck and around the shoulder are carved eight dragonflies. They extend up from the base and down from the rim.  They are matte while the remaining areas that are carved are stone polished. 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, “Madeline E. Naranjo”.
