Elizabeth and Marcellus Medina Deer and Butterfly Bowl

Elizabeth and Marcellus Medina are widely considered the most skilled potters working in Zia Pueblo today, and this handcrafted bowl is an elegant representation of a centuries-old form.

 The Medinas works in the traditional Zia style, slipping their natural clay vessels with a buff background then painting polychrome designs in red, brown and black. A highly detailed representation of a deer is painted on one side.  On the reverse side designs include butterfly rain, clouds and organic forms drawn from nature. This expertly crafted bowl is a timeless work of fine art from Zia Pueblo's premier potters.

Jar measures 6-1/2" long and wide, stands 5-3/4" tall. Comes with certificate of authenticity.
