Turtles
Functional and decorative describes Robert Rivera's Rattles. Beautiful on the wall, and a musical instrument when you shake them. The dried seeds of the gourd rattle inside, the outside is painted on the natural background of the gourd. The turtle has a snake skin shell and sterling and turquoise button.
This small turtle piece of Acoma pot is decorated with simple and elegant black details on a white background. It measures 3 inches long and is a very finely made piece of pottery made by Mary Lewis of the Acoma Pueblo. This piece was acquired from an estate collection, and would look quite at home in anyone's pottery collection.
