This is a wide shoulder jar by Debbie Clashin.  She is a cousin of noted potter Mark Tahbo and a descendant of Grace Chapella.  Debbie has quickly become well known for her large-sized traditional Hopi-Tewa pottery. The jar has a sharp shoulder and a short neck.  The piece is painted with bee-weed (black) and clay slips.  The jar has a star pattern painted with a deep red burgundy colored clay.  There are old-style flowers in the triangular sections of the jar.   Below the shoulder are mesa designs in orange clay with the rainbows in deep red. The jar was traditionally fired with exceptional fire clouds across the surface.   It is signed on the bottom “Debbie Clashin” and a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
