Malcolm Ray - "Santana", Cherry wood,lacquer and gesso measuring 4-1/4" x 7-1/4" x 7-1/4". "After a trip to a few of the New Mexico pueblos, I found that the pottery of the Southwest natives provided almost unlimited inspiration for wood forms.Since then,I have tried to make forms that have the feeling of the pottery without making outright copies of what I saw. This olla form is my favorite of the ones I have made.The band around the middle has been burnished to contrast with
the almost flat finish on the rest of the piece."
