A striking example of Santa Clara Pueblo artistry, this blackware pottery bowl showcases a three-dimensional turtle ascending the vessel's surface, its shell intricately carved with traditional motifs. Crafted by artist Birdell "Vine Flower" Bourdon using ancestral coiling techniques, the piece exemplifies the pueblo's signature aesthetic: a lustrous black-on-black finish achieved through stone polishing and specialized firing. The sculptural turtle form and meticulous surface detailing reflect the sophisticated design language that distinguishes Santa Clara Pueblo ceramics, making this a distinguished addition to any collection of Native American pottery.
