Description

Don't know how anyone could accomplish such fine sgraffito work.  A tiny butterfly in flight resides toward the bottom as well as some landscape elements.

About the Artist (1932 - 2014 Santa Clara pueblo)  In the early 1970's Lonewolf began creating pottery statements.  Beyond traditional polished blackware, he chose to introduce areas of orange.  He later utilized sgraffito designs to illustrate a narrative of their surfaces.  His sister Grace Medicine Flower is another superior potter from Santa Clara pueblo.  Their mother Agapita and their father Camilio Sunflower Tafoya were both significant artisans in clay.

To experience Lonewolf's methodology step by step, recommend The Pottery Jewels of Joseph Lonewolf published by the Dandick Company in 1975.

But I remember Joseph's charming sense of humor.  Called one day to admit I could not find the year his father, Camilio died.  Josseph easily answered "well we were working on mending fences this morning.  I think he's still alive".
