Hohokam Flower Platter Replica

Up for your consideration is a Hohokam inspired replication of a flower design painted upon a platter. A western clay body was selected for its color. Mica temper was added to create a level of authenticity as Hohokam clay bodies were composed of this mineral. Paint was predominantly iron oxide combined with binders to affect an adhering property once the pottery was fired. The design was painted with homemade hair and yucca brushes.  A wood fire in an earth pit resulted in rich fire clouds and a smoky patina rendered upon the vessel’s surface.  Mild abrasion to the surface created an aged effect.
