Heri Mora Mata Ortiz Pottery Jar – Deer & Cactus Design
Handcrafted by Mata Ortiz artist Heri Mora, this jar features a vivid allover design of stylized black deer and green prickly pear cactus, set against a rich terracotta ground. The imagery is skillfully etched and painted in the sgraffito tradition, a hallmark of the celebrated pottery from Northern Mexico inspired by ancient Casas Grandes artistry. The design flows seamlessly around the jar’s rounded form, with animated figures and organic patterns that reflect the artist’s contemporary interpretation of regional heritage. Signed “Heri Mora” within the artwork.
