Native American, Maria Montoy Poveka Martinez (1887-1980), San Ildefonso Pueblo, northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, ca. 1920s to 1930 CE. A stunning polished blackware vessel by the famous Maria Martinez and signed "Marie" (Maria Martinez signatures varied over the course of her long career with Marie among the earlier forms). This jar represents one of her classic shapes, fired to a dark black hue with a buff series of what appears to be four bird heads facing left over a spotted landscape (seeds?), signed in the clay on the bottom. The San Ildefonso Pueblo is synonymous with the pottery of Maria Martinez. Her signature style became so popular that its sales actually helped stabilize the isolated, drought ridden, over-logged, and influenza-ridden pueblo and many of the surrounding pueblos as well. Size: 5.75" W x 3.125" H (14.6 cm x 7.9 cm)
