Margaret Gutierrez (b.1936) and Luther Gutierrez (1911–1987)— Santa Clara Pueblo

This beautifully and intricately painted design includes immense detail. The minimal Avanyu bodies, their heads poking out of each side of the bi-furcated design, enhance its symmetry. The careful observer will also notice birds at the plate’s rim.
