Emma was a self-taught potter, having learned how to make pottery by watching her mother, Lucy Lewis. She and her family want to keep the traditions and designs of the ancient Mimbres alive and therefore often use those designs in their pottery. This particular pendant has a heart-line deer design as its main motif, a design perhaps influenced by Zuni use of the design.
