$ 8,800.00

Russell Sanchez continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery.  Each piece is coil-built, stone-polished, and traditionally fired.  The jar has a round body and short neck. The entire piece is fully polished. There are three large medallions, each slipped green and etched with pueblo quail.  They are surrounded by copper leafing and hei-shi beads.  The black polished area surrounding the three medallions is also etched with flowing plant designs.  The jar has  polished lid that fits perfectly.  The jar was fired black and then the medallions were two-toned green. Both the lid and the jar are signed, “Russell”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
