This remarkable reproduction of an Atlatl Spear Weight Vase is a striking one-of-a-kind creation crafted in clay by renowned reproduction pottery artist, Tonya Lamb, and embellished with a Lascaux Cave Art style horse depicted in pigment. A substantial statement piece of decor with unique ancient air about it, consigned from a highly collectible artisan.
Tonya Norton Lamb is a contemporary American artisan rooted in rural Western Kansas. Born into a family of artists, much of Tonya’s upbringing revolved around exploration, art education, and archaeological digs, introducing her to museums throughout the West, bronze foundries, and private collections of Pueblo pottery, things that would later influence her remarkable reproductions. After raising her two children and three stepchildren, Tonya once again returned to her love of the craft, particularly working with clay – which she says “keeps a person extremely grounded” – and recreating Southwest-style pottery in the studio she’s built on her Registered Angus ranch.
