This is a large seedpot by Camilio Tafoya. It was made in in1977. The seedpot is coil-built and fully polished, even the bottom! He etched an eagle chasing rabbits, and the rabbits are getting away! Note the detail in the rabbits and the feathers on the bird! On the side are plant designs. Camilio first began making larger carved pottery like his sister, Margaret Tafoya. In the 1970s he began making pieces on his own when he was living with his daughter Grace Medicine Flower. All of the etching on his pieces was done before they were fired so that he was able to get the smooth tan coloration in the background. The piece is signed on the bottom “Camilio Sunflower Tafoya”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
