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 is fully polished and fully designed.  On the sides, there are  Mimbres deer, antelope, and Big Horn sheep.  Below each of the animals is a Mimbres style bird.  Around the animals and separating them are clouds.  Susan’s clouds are always amazing, as she perfectly etches them to create a sense of realism in contrast to the other imagery.  Note the various colorations, as Susan often etches just the polished area away to reveal the matte red and 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.
