2024 post:
Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This small vessel came into the museum collection in 2021 as a gift from Chuck and Sandy Bussing. It was made around 1925 by Maria and Julian Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo), a Native couple celebrated for reviving a traditional black-on-black ceramic process. Maria typically created the polished vessels and then Julian painted the matte decorations.
