This seedpot was made and polished by Sue Tapia and etched with designs by Tom Tapia.  It is a very intricate piece of his work as it is fully designed. On one side is a sun medallion with feather patterns and a Longhair Katsina.  There is a water serpent extending up from the base and also a katsina figure with corn pollen.  There are Mimbres inspired insects and turtles on the side and note that is also where the hole is for the seedpot! The side opposite the sunface has a Tewa drummer and a rising sun.  There is also an additional bear paw, butterfly and arrow pattern on the side. The piece is signed, “Tom & Sue Tapia”.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
