Southwest style hollow form. Texture created off the lathe with a Dremel engraver. MinWax Wipe-On Poly finish.
|
|
Texture has a similar appearance to a close view of skin. This piece is titled Tegumentum, from the Latin word: tegument, a cover or covering, an integument, especially the covering of a living body or some part or organ of a such a body, skin, hide.

The vessel has a rounded bottom with no flat spot. Southwest forms were frequently created without a flat area and the pots were placed either in the crotch of a tree or in a shallow depression on the ground.
