This is an elegant jar by Dolores Curran.  She continues to create intricately incised and painted pottery.  Her husband, Alvin Curran, inspired her to create these red polychrome incised and painted.  He was known for his incised San Juan-style pottery in the late 1990s.  This jar has a wider shape with a short neck.  The top and bottom are fully polished red. Around the neck are are cloud and flower designs.  Below is an avanyu encircling the jar.  All the various colors are from different clay slips.  The jar has a triangular shaped top with a hole through the center, representing the full moon.  There are red-on-red lightning designs on the top of the lid  It is an extraordinary amount of time to create intricate pieces in design and use the various clay additions.   The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Dolores Curran”.
