Marie has been a constant winner at Santa Fe Indian Market since 1984. She has participated in Santa Fe Indian Market, Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, and Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show.
This jewel of a dish was constructed of traditional San Ildefonso clay and temper agent and highlighted with micaceous clay. Half the feathers are natural beige slip with micaceous highlights; and the other half are micaceous slip with a darker slip color. The center is a beautiful dark red stone-polished slip on which floats a beautiful oblong turquoise cab.
