Sanchez, Russell – Black-and-Green Jar with Bear, Bear Paw, and 39 Stones
$ 3,200.00
Russell Sanchez continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery. Each piece is coil-built, stone-polished, and traditionally fired. This jar has a sharp shoulder and sloping neck. The jar was fired a glassy black and then the rim was two-toned green. The neck has an etched bear paw and there are two bands of hei-shi beads. The body of the jar has an etched bear and then etched clouds and birds on the opposite. There are inset coral stones on the neck and a single inset piece of turquoise in the bear paw. The birds and clouds have coral and the bear has a large inset piece of turquoise and a tiny diamond for the eye. The jar is a striking combination of colors, designs and detail. There are a total of 39 inset stones on this piece. All the stones are inset after firing. The jar is elegant in shape and design with a modern strength. It is signed, “Russell ’25”.
