This collector's scale piece measures approximately 9" H x 9" W and features a beautifully detailed, stone-polished metallic black finish. The body of the vessel is masterfully hand-etched with traditional geometric bands and a highly detailed lizard motif, showcasing incredible Southwestern/Casas Grandes style storytelling and artistry.
Key Features:
• Authentic & Signed: Hand-signed by the artist (Esperanza Tena) incised directly into the raw clay on the bottom of the piece.
• Condition: Immaculate, showroom condition. Absolutely no cracks, chips, fleabites, scratches, or blemishes to the polished finish. It has been meticulously cared for in a smoke-free home.
• Dimensions: 9 inches tall by 9 inches wide.
• Method: Completely hand-coiled and traditional pit-fired using local natural clays—no modern industrial kilns or glazes were used.
This is a beautiful addition for any collector of Native American, Mexican, or Southwestern art and pottery.
