Harrison Begay, Jr. has won numerous awards over the years for his deep carved pottery.  This jar has a heartline bear on one side. As the jar is turned there are waves and a flower.  The jar is highly polished and fired to a glassy appearance.  The polished sections stand out more in contrast to the black matte areas.  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 is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Harrison”.
