Russell Sanchez continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery.  Each piece is coil-built and designed. This small bowl is fully polished. It is the natural color of the clay and, interestingly, it is a clay that Russell only used for a short time. It was a pinkish-colored clay from near Abiquiu, NM.  There is an incised bear and bear tracks, along with an inset piece of turquoise.  The bowl is signed, “Russell Sanchez”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
