Southwest Pottery Mata Ortiz Pot Decorated with Paquimé Patterns & Ceramic Base

About this Mata Ortiz Pottery Piece This Mata Ortiz Piece is extraordinary in many ways.  Tradition: The patterns are inspired by the Southwest Paquimé Culture. Shape: It was completely hand modeled, without the use of any pottery wheel nor molds. Elegance: The piece displays a perfect balance literally and aesthetically. It is mounted on a  fully decorated conic ceramic base. The balance is also aesthetical because the mouth of the pot resembles and provides a sense of continuity to the base. The ovoidal shape is also very pleasing to the eye. Detail: The piece is exquisitely decorated with Paquimé inspired patterns, they are so tiny and detailed that only a true master could achieve such results. The overall painting design has movement and rhythm.  A masterpiece of Mata ortiz Pottery Each piece is signed by the artist and includes a certificate of authenticity.   TECHNICAL DATA HEIGHT 15 In  /  38 Cm.
