$ 2,400.00

This is a large 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 wide shape created a perfect space for the tightly painted design.  There are two panels of design.  Each has a bird and bird wing connected with plant and rain patterns.  The  jar is painted with bee-weed and natural clay slips.  It 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”.
