CERAMIC SCULPTURE

"Moose" encompasses many different phases in construction. First the thrown body of the vessel. Then the head was sculpted and glazed with a variety of brown shades to achieve a textural effect. The antlers seem to have the essence of a persons hands extended outward. (Sold - Private collection)
