This jar by Alice Cling is a classic Navajo shape with a low shoulder and an elongated neck.  The jar has a raised “braid” encircling the piece near the neck.   What is interesting about the raised design is that it has double rainbows separated by linear rain designs.  This raised area around the jar has a great texture and there is one small “gap” in the design, which is the “spirit line”.  The jar is traditionally fired and it was fired very hot as it is a brownish coloration.  The fire clouds still circle around on the surface of the jar.  It was covered in pinon-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pine pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Alice Cling”.  Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”  She remains one of the great names in the revival of Navajo pottery in the 1980s
