Adams, Sadie – Large Lidded Red Jar with Double Bird Designs (1970s)

6.5"w x 7.75"h (w/ lid)

$ 1,200.00

This is a large lidded jar by Sadie Adams.  It is made from the traditional red Hopi clay.  Interestingly, this clay is yellow in color and then turns red in the firing!  The entire jar is fully polished, even on the inside!  It is painted with a classic Hopi bird design on each side, with the tail and wing extending upwards.  The designs are painted with bee-weed (black) on the red clay surface.  The jar has a lid that fits perfectly into the top.  It was then traditionally fired, with slight blushes on the surface.  The jar is signed on the bottom with her hallmark flower.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
