1.75"long x .75"h

$ 225.00

Thomas Natseway is one of the most renowned miniaturists in Pueblo pottery.  Rarely does he make a piece that is over 1″ tall or wide!  This is one of those amazing pieces in both design and form that makes one realize why he is so well-recognized for miniatures.  Overall, the piece is a bird effigy.  The inside of the “bowl” is painted with a bird and a human figure.  The head of the bird is on the front of the bowl. The “handle” is the bird’s tail. What you can’t really see is that the tail has an indention, as if there was a space to hold it if you were using it!  As well,t he whole piece is VERY tightly painted.  The piece is signed, “Thomas Natseway”.
