Natseway, Thomas – Mini Jar with Mountain Lions and Foxes (1986)

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. The jar has a round body and a short neck.  The body of the jar is fully painted with mountain lions, foxes, and lady bugs.  The top of the shoulder has four mountain lions.  The body of the jar has two foxes and little ladybugs.  The remainder is fully painted with very complex and intricate designs.  It is VERY detailed! The jar is signed, “Thomas Natseway”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
