Chilly, Nancy Ann – Tall Jar with Mother Earth/Father Sky, Sun, and Yei Figures
4.5"w x 5.25"h
$ 200.00
This is a striking incised bowl by Nancy Ann Chilly-Yazzie. Nancy is one of the few Navajo pottery working today in a traditional style. Her pieces are coil-built, incised, and traditionally fired. Nancy is from the Four Corners Area on the Navajo Reservation. This jar has two Mother Earth/Father Sky figures and two Yei figures. They are each separated by intricately designed sun designs. The way she painted and incised the sun medallions, they are reminiscent of a piece of inlay jewelry! The jar was traditionally fired, then painted, then covered in pinon pitch in the traditional manner. It is signed, “NAY” on the bottom.
