Stunning!  Jennifer Tafoya is known for her clay vessels and also her amazing animal figures!  This seedpot has a flat top and it is fully polished. The top is etched with two Lazuli Buntings. They are realistically depicted and note the detail in the feathers!  They are sitting on branches of cherry blossoms. Once again, note the detail and realism in the branches and even the flower buds!  The bottom is etched with a water serpent (avanyu) using the negative space.  There are nine additional dragonflies as part of the design. It is striking how they flow and fly around they flow and fly around the water serpent.  Overall, an exceptional piece in design, detail, polish, and color.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jennifer Tafoya”.  Definitely an exceptioanl piece of her pottery art.
