Ms. Ruth Cota Renteria - Artist
Length - 6.75 inches
Width - 3.75 inches
Height - 5.25 inches (to the top of the fin)
Weight - 1 pound
Ruth Renteria is one of the more highly respected artists of Mata Ortiz, particularly because of her delightful animal images. This pottery is an excellent example of her love of the fishes. Bright eyed and wide faced, this chubby denizen of the local Mata Ortiz streams is colorful and expressive. Created from the local native clay, the piece is glazed with a coat of white and decorated in green and black diamond patterns. Pottery rings are not made in oval shapes, but one will be provided to give a little more stability wherever it sits.
Ms. Renteria signs her art work.
A pottery ring is included.
