The rounded form is fully articulated with sweeping feather bands, stepped geometry, and rhythmic cross-hatching, executed with confident line control and balanced negative space. The burnished surface reveals subtle tonal depth, emphasizing the hand-coiled construction and refined polishing characteristic of Mata Ortiz production.
