Albert Alvidrez Tigua Pueblo Ceramic Wall Cross — Signed, Bird Motif, Polychrome
This hand-painted ceramic wall cross by Albert Alvidrez, a respected artist from the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo (Tigua), features a stylized bird with accompanying plant and geometric motifs in vibrant red, turquoise, black, and white. The stepped-edge cross form draws from Pueblo architectural symbolism, while the graphic composition reflects Alvidrez's distinctive artistic style. The reverse bears his signature in black ink. Designed with two holes on the back for wall hanging, this piece represents a powerful intersection of tradition and personal expression. Alvidrez is widely recognized for preserving and evolving Tigua pottery traditions through hand-crafted and painted ceramics rooted in cultural storytelling. A compelling and collectible example of contemporary Pueblo art.
