$ 600.00

This seepdot by Camilio Tafoya is from 1978.  It is fully polished and fully designed.  The top has a sunface design.  The sides have two ducks and geometrics deisgns.  It is a very complex piece and larger in size.  The designs were lightly etched into the clay before it was fired.  Camilio first began making larger carved pottery like his sister, Margaret Tafoya.  In the 1970s, he began making sgraffito 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 Tafoya”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
