This is a large jar by Daniel Begay. The piece is coil-built, carved, stone-polished, and traditionally fired. The jar has a low shoulder and straight sides. It is fully carved with a turtle on each side. Each turtle has a different shell design. They are separated by cloud and water patterns. Areas are stone polished to a high shine and create a striking contrast of matte and polished surfaces on this jar. The style of carving has a beveled appearance to the angle of the cuts into the clay. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Daniel Begay”. It has a blue ribbon from the 2024 Gallup Ceremonials.
