DAVID SALK 9 1/4\" PETROGLYPH PLATE - REPRESENTING THE SUN PERHAPS? (C -561) For Sale

This offering is for a HAND MADE NATIVE AMERICAN PETROGLYPH PLATE by DAVID SALK in a design motif that represents THE SUN I think. It is very bold and simple like petroglyphs in general and is very pleasing. It is 2 inches high and 9 1/4 inches in diameter. It is dated 1999 and is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. David Salk is the nephew of Jonas Salk who developed the Polio vaccine and his parents were physicians on a Navaho Reservation where he grew up. This exposure imbued an intense interest in Native American pottery and basketry design. He is very accomplished in re-creating both in clay for many different tribes and he is represented by several museums including the Smithsonian (I have also included some additional photos of some future and current listings by F. Carlton Ball, David Stewart, David Cuzick, David Leach, Tatsuzo Shimaoka and William Chappelow.) (C - 561)
