Description
Frog Fiesta seed pot from the Zuni Pueblo by Marcus Homer. Marcus Homer was born in 1971 into the Zuni Pueblo. He was inspired to continue the family tradition of pottery making from his ancestors. He is most known for his unique, contemporary pottery accented with lizards, frogs, serpents, and tadpoles like this beautiful item that you could bid on and win!
The traditional Native American seed pot is easily recognizable by the very small opening at the top designed to keep rodents and insects from eating the seeds. This piece is made with native Zuni clay and hand built by the coil method. There is a Kaollin slip and Mineral Paint. The clay is natural pigment. The Frog pottery measures about 4 1/2" tall and 6"in diameter.

"I so enjoy being witness to the constant evolution of contemporary Zuni art and artists. So much of what we do at Keshi is "off the beaten path" or could be considered of an esoteric nature in the general view, and I see a lot of room for exploration in the form of books and other media in the future. I also believe that the art in Keshi is connecting all kinds of people with that which is archetypal, and it's an honor to be a bridge for people in such a way that facilitates a connection to something profound within." -Bronwyn Fox Bern Owner of Keshi and long-time KUNM supporter
Also includes a $100 certificate to spend the next time that you are in Keshi.
