This is a complex carved jar by Harrison Begay, Jr..  He has won numerous awards over the years for his deep carved pottery.  This jar has tall sides and a turned out rim. The rim is fully polished.  The jar is carved with a wolf and sun on one side.  The opposite side has a very intricately carved buffalo with a heartline. Separating them are stars, water, and cloud designs.  Harrison has a very distinctive style of carving, which has a beveled appearance to the angle of the cuts into the clay. The jar is highly polished and there is a strong contrast of the matte and polished surfaces.  Harrison uses both polished and matte surfaces to draw the eye to his complex designs. The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Harrison ’20”
