Carmelita Dunlap 1925-1999 was raised by the famous potter Maria Martinez in San Ildefonso Pueblo. During the Nixon administration she designated a National Treasure. This beautiful pot measures 6.75" inches high and 7 inches wide.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
