This is a unique shaped 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 shape has high shoulders, a flat top and just a small neck. The top of the jar has two Hopi-Tewa moths as the design.  It is a design which was originated by Grace Chapella.  Next to each moth is a three-pointed section which represents the three Hopi mesas.   The rest of the design are the stars in the sky at night.  Around the side of the jar it is also fully painted with bird wing, bird tail and cloud patterns. The jar is painted with bee-weed and natural clay slips.  It was traditionally fired with blushes across the surface of the jar.   It is signed on the bottom with her name and a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
