Night Echo Vessel

Sleek yet rich with ancestral symbolism, Night Echo Vessel by Martin Olivas Quintana is a statement in black-on-black balance. Its matte surface is meticulously carved with relief motifs—featuring a lizard, hummingbird, and parrot—interwoven with geometric glyphs inspired by Paquimé culture. The sculptural body contrasts sharply with the polished neck, reflecting light while grounding the piece in tradition.
This handcrafted Mata Ortiz vase is more than decor—it’s a conversation between light and shadow, history and form. Quintana’s precision in blending carved storytelling with smooth, reflective surface finishes showcases his deep understanding of the region’s evolving ceramic language.
