Tonita Roybal (1892-1945) has been called, "One of the finest potters of the twentieth century." This traditional black on black jar's design is an Avanyu, the Tewa deity, the water serpent (guardian). Tonita began making pottery in 1909. Starting in 1917, Juan started to paint some of her pottery, and after 1930 he painted a majority of the pieces. When Tonita made the pottery and did the painting, these pieces were signed, "Tonita." When she made the vessel, and Juan painted it, then they were signed "Tonita and Juan." 8" x 5.5"
