Description: Clay | Dimensions: 2”h x 2”d

Jemez Pueblo’s Glendora Fragua has been creating pots since the 1970’s that are primarily reflective of her culture. Her pottery is recognized for the precision sgraffito on hand-coiled, highly polished red and buff clay vessels. Her designs often include kiva steps, spirit figures, rain symbols, and corn, the latter of which is a nod to her family as they originate from the Corn Clan. After building and polishing her pots, Fragua incises designs into the highly polished surfaces. Parts of the design may then be painted red, buff, or sometimes micaceous slips. Her cornstalk trademark is added to the bottom of each piece prior to being fired. Fragua has won a number of awards for her pieces at shows including Santa Fe Indian Market; the Heard Indian Market in Phoenix, the Indian Market and Festival at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, and the Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial in NM.
