Susie Crank is a daughter of Rose Williams and a sister of Alice Cling.  This is one of her long neck jars and it is polished red and traditionally fired. The coloration from the firing is stunning with variations from black to deep red.  The square neck works well to show off the variations in the color.  The jar was covered in pine-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pitch was used to make the pottery water proof.  Today, the pine pitch seals the vessel and gives it the shine.  It is signed on the bottom.
