This is is a wide shoulder water 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. This jar has a wide shoulder and a slightly turned out neck.  The body of the piece is painted with a mesa and eagle tail pattern.  In addition to the black (bee weed) she has used a deep red and an orange color of clay.  They provide a visual along with textural aspect to this jar. The rim is stippled with the bee weed.  Note how the design and the colors accentuate the shape fo this jar!  It has been traditionally fired which creates the blushes across the surface of the bowl.   It is signed on the bottom with her name and a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
