A Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico blackware pot by Virginia Garcia. The pot features a classic rounded body form with a high-shouldered curve and gently flaring rim. It is also subtly decorated with a bear claw symbol on two sides. Signed on the underside.
Virginia Garcia (b. 1963), though not as widely known as her contemporaries, is part of the strong lineage of Santa Clara artists who have preserved and evolved their community's ceramic traditions. Her work reflects the techniques passed down through generations including hard-coiled local clay, stone burnishing, and firing in a reduction atmosphere.
Dimensions: approx. 6.5-inches tall with a 5-inch diameter at its widest point
