Three micaceous pieces: Two crosses by robert Vigil, the black one (4.25" x 2.5") is set with a turquoise stone. The golden one is 6" x 3". Both are clean modern designs. Robert Vigil learned to make pottery from Lonnie Vigil and Virginia Gutierrez. Each piece is coil made with micaceous clay and micaceous clay slipped. Robert says he prefers the simple shapes and forms and even his carving is gentle. He gets his inspiration from the clay: "I just sit down and start and the clay forms itself through my hands." The spoon is by Martha Romero. 5" long, 2" bowl. Martha states "The mica shines in place of decoration. The design aesthetics that I now add represent my love of nature. With guidance from Clay Mother I aspire to take the pottery of my tribe and incorporate Nambe’s beauty." Date: Location: Nambe Pueblo, New Mexico HWAC # 52179
