This jar was made by Perston Duwyenie and polished and incised by Debra Duwyenie.  The jar is one of Preston’s classic wide shoulder pieces with the asymmetrical mouth.  The body of the piece is slipped with a red micaceous clay.  The top of the shoulder has been fully polished and etched by Debra.  There are 7 larger turtles and 6 smaller ones. Each turtle has a different design on the back.  Note that there is always one which represent Preston with the wavy lines on the back (for his shifting sand designs).  There are stars surrounding the turtles as they are swimming!  It is a beautifully designed piece and complex in the variety of designs.  The jar is signed on the bottom with Preston’s hallmark and Debra’s name.
