Eli Navarrete: Elegant Sculpted Olla

Beautiful long olla by Eli Navarrete Ortiz, one of the most successful Mata Ortiz potters.
In 1997 "The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz" authors stated that Eli Navarrete: "...could become one of the two or three best potters to ever come out of Mata Ortiz" Today he is considered one of the best!
This very attractive piece features Eli's trademark fish,birds and geckos painted over a beautiful graphite burnished pot.
