$ 180.00

Stetson Setalla is a son of noted potter Pauline Setalla.  This large tile is fully polished.  It has a stylized hummingbird and flower on the front along with two dragonflies.  There are two different colors of red which comeplment the various areas of the painting.  The black is bee-weed and there are strong blushes from the firing. It is signed on the back. Interestingly, the first time I met Stetson was through the famous photographer Jerry Jacka, around 1998.  Jerry was photographing Stetson’s pottery for is book on Hopi art and asked Stetson to stay until I arrived so I could see his pottery!  Definitely a talented potter from the very beginning!
