Offered in this lot are original Michael Chiago paintings on pot sherds. Michael Chiago is one of very few Southern Arizona Indian painters to achieve national recognition. The welcoming appeal of his colorful paintings reaches far beyond the desert southwest, to portray a time and place that is distinctly the Sonoran Desert.
