Giant Mata Ortiz seed pot

Product #:	pty509
Brand:	Mata Ortiz
Description:	Here is a good opportunity to acquire a very fine piece of Mata Ortiz pottery at a very low price.  This remarkable thin-walled fine art was hand-formed (without the use of a potter's wheel) from locally dug clay, hand painted with natural mineral or plant colors and fired over open ground (not in a kiln). The fine pottery resulting from these ancient methods are a strong reminder of the amazing power of Mata Ortiz creativity and skills.  Lupe Ontiveros is the son-in-law of the late Manuel Olivas, married to one of Manuel's daughters.  Lupe works in his Casas Grandes shop and gallery at the mouth of the Paquimé ruins and museum.  He is known for his amazing finely detailed geometric pattern designs hand painted on his pottery. 13" in diameter x 7" tall.
