8"w x 3"h

$ 7,500.00

This is a collaborative piece by Christopher Youngblood and Jennifer Tafoya.  It is a bowl that was made and carved by Chris.  It was polished by both of them and then traditionally fired a deep black coloration.  After the firing, Jennifer etched the designs into the clay.  The bowl is carved with three dinosaurs.  There is a Stegosaurus, a Triceratops, and a Parasaurolophus.  They are each carved in a relief style and then polished.  Jennifer etched the scales and designs into the clay and then added the various colors of clay slip.  Each of the dinosaurs has a turquoise inset for the eye!   Along the rim are carved clouds slipped with mica.  It is a creative vessel but striking in design and amazing in the complexity of levels of carving.  It is signed by both Chris and Jennifer.
