Harrison Begay, Jr. has won numerous awards over the years for his deep carved pottery.  This is a piece of his pottery from 1998. It is deeply carved with a hand, flute player and a two wind designs.  The larger designs are surrounded by additional star and wind swirls.  The neck and base are fully polished as are the carved designs.  Harrison achieves an exceptional polish to his pottery!  The matte areas surrounding the carved designs further enhance the imagery.  Note as well the style of carving, which has a beveled appearance to the angle of the cuts into the clay. This is a very distinctive style of carving for his pottery.  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
