This is a large and classic Zuni jar by Tim Edaakie and Bobby Sila. They created pieces together with Bobby making the pottery and Tim painting the designs. Tim was Zuni while Bobby is Hopi and their pottery was created to envision historic pottery shapes and designs. Sadly, Tim passed away in 2020. This is a large Zuni jar that is tightly painted with classic rain cloud and rain designs. The designs are striking on the jar and note the contrast the fine-lines and the large, bold triangular cloud patterns. The jar is unusual with the four antler fetishes that are attached to the outside of the jar. The piece creates a connection between the early Zuni jars and the classic Zuni fetish bowls. All the colors are from natural clay slips. It is signed on the bottom, “T. Edaakie B. Silas, 2015”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
