Hubert Candelario (Native American, b. 1965) Contemporary Micaceious

A fine contemporary micaceous pottery melon jar featuring deeply ribbed, precisely carved swirls radiating from the shoulder. The structure is meticulously hand-formed using traditional red clay native to San Felipe Pueblo. The exterior is coated in layers of orange micaceous slip and intricately burnished to create an even, metallic sparkle. This piece represents the hallmark "melon swirl" style heavily influenced by traditional Santa Clara carving styles, adapted into a distinctive modern aesthetic. Underside inscribed with artist's signature. Dimensions: 5"W x 4.5"H Weight: 1.68 lbs Condition Request Condition Report Good.
