Santa Clara Jar, Grace Medicine Flower AKA Grace Tafoya (b. 1938) Grace's intricately designed butterflies and hummingbirds remind the viewer of our delicate relationship with nature. Each piece reflects her connection to the earth, the Clay Lady, and the tradition and history of the Santa Clara Pueblo. Grace and Joseph were honored with the New Mexico Medal of Honor for contributing to Santa Clara Pueblo. Grace has also won significant awards at Gallup Ceremonials and other events. This intricately carved perfume bottle shape conveys a sense of fragility combined with a cohesive aesthetic vision with polished red slip incised with hummingbirds and flowers
