NWC Charmae Natseway Cylinder

Although master potter, Charmae Natseway, is from Acoma, she occasionally makes vessels with Northwest Coast Native American designs. On this cylinder, she has painted what appears to be a human face and a killer whale.

 What makes her work entirely distinctive is that she uses traditional Acoma clay and paints but creates vessels in shapes that no one else has attempted. This pot is 5 ½” tall including the removable stopper.
