Ben Billy hand-throws this seed pot into a perfectly rounded ball shape, small opening at the top, balanced and symmetrical from every angle. It is the classic seed pot silhouette, rooted in a tradition of protecting the community's most precious resource. On this piece, that round surface becomes a canvas for some of his finest work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color moves from soft turquoise at the base into deep cobalt blue, then through sunset red and back to cerulean near the top. Sgraffito etchings circle the body in staircase and mountain motifs along the center, with delicate lightning and root carvings anchoring the lower half. Horsehair trails from the firing weave through all of it, unpredictable and permanent.
