$ 800.00
This seedpot by Camilio Tafoya is from 1986. It is fully polished and fully designed. It is a very complex and well-executed design. The seedpot has a butterfly on the top at an angle. There are eight coyotes encircling the piece. Each one is different in style from adults to puppies. It is a charming piece! Check out that there is even a buffalo skull as part of the design. In terms of the design, the lighter matte red areas are where the polished red has been etched away. The colors are all added from various clay slips. Camilio was living with Joseph Lonewolf, his son, when he made this. Joseph would give him the clay slips to use for the colors. The piece is signed on the bottom “Camilio Sunflower”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
