2"w x 1.75"h

$ 425.00

Susan “Snowflake” Romero’s pottery is highly polished and intricately etched with detailed imagery.  Many of her skills are ones that she learned from her father, Joseph Lonewolf. This seedpot has a realistic full-body antelope etched onto the top of the piece.  There is exceptional precision and realism in the antelope.  On the sides, there is one section with petroglyph antelope and another with a Mimbres antelope.  There are tiny antelope tracks near the base in two other sections.  Note also how Susan has etched her pottery. The polished red is the surface, and then she often etches just the polished area away to reveal the matte red and the going deeper, there is the tan of the clay.  It is very complicated and time-consuming to etch in this manner!  However, the results are exceptional.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay with her Tewa name, “Pho-sa-We”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
