This jar is one of Rainy’s most famous shapes with a round body and elongated neck.  The entire piece is polished with a white clay slip.  The design is a bear paw pattern which was one that was used by her mother, Helen “Featherwoman” Naha.  The design is on the top and bottom of the shoulder and separated by fineline patterns.  There are two different clay slips used on this piece for the various colors.  Rainy seeks out many of her clay slips to create various colors.  Each of her pieces is also traditionally fired which gives the white a very pearlescent appearance.  It is signed on the bottom with a feather and “Rainy”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
