Russell Sanchez continues to be one of the true innovators in Pueblo pottery.  Each piece is coil-built and designed. This is a micaceous figurative “Corn Maiden” Jar.  The shawl is carved and the face is the opening of the jar.  It is slipped with mica.  There is a bear painted with black clay on the front and there is a single inset piece of turquoise.  The jar is from 1989.  It is signed, “Russell Sanchez”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
