Harrison Begay, Jr. has won numerous awards over the years for his deep-carved pottery. This jar has straight sides and is fully carved. The jar has two bears on one side. As the piece is turned there is a waterfall and then a hummingbird and eagle feathers. There is an additional waterfall. All the designs are either polished or matte. The highly stone-polished surface creates a strong visual distinction between the matte and polished surface. 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 jar was fired a glassy black. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Harrison ’25”.
