This is an elegantly shaped jar by Daniel Begay.  The piece is coil-built, carved, stone-polished, and traditionally fired.  The jar has a round shoulder and a sloping neck. The jar has a deeply carved hummingbird on each side.  They are flowing waterfalls on each side. The birds are carved and stone polished. They are surrounded by matte sun and cloud patterns.  The jar has a striking contrast of highly polished and matte surfaces.  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”.
