This is one of the few lidded pieces we have had by Camilio Tafoya. It is from 1973 and it was fired “black-and-red”. It is a distinctive firing technique where areas the piece (here, the sides) are covered before the manure is put on to turn it black. The jar has a mountain design around the neck. On the sides are two medallion. One has a Pueblo man holding corn, and the other side has a mana figure holding corn. The piece is highly fired and a striking coloration. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Camilio “Sunflower” Tafoya”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
