Subject: The print features two distinct Southwestern or Native American-style ceramic pots (jars). They are depicted with a stylized, almost geometric design, likely indicative of traditional Pueblo pottery or a similar folk art aesthetic.
Color Palette: The jars are primarily rendered in earthy tones, possibly with reddish-orange and teal/blue-green chevron or banded patterns that stand out against a neutral, textured background (perhaps mimicking paper or stone). The clean lines and bold patterns give it a graphic, yet rustic feel.
Signature & Edition: The artist's signature (appears to be R. Millisap, please confirm) and the edition number "110/150" are clearly hand-written in pencil on the bottom margin of the print, confirming its authenticity as a limited edition.
Framing: The print is professionally presented in a period-appropriate gold-tone metal frame with custom matting. The matting consists of multiple layers, likely in complementary muted tones (peach/terracotta, blue, and an off-white/cream inner mat) that enhance the colors of the artwork and provide depth. The back of the frame still bears the original Kinder-Harris, Inc. sticker, noting it was custom designed and made on October 19, 1987.
Overall Aesthetic: The piece evokes a Southwestern, Native American, or rustic art deco sensibility, perfect for a den, living room, office, or gallery wall that appreciates vintage aesthetics and cultural motifs.
