Erik Fender is the son of Martha Appleleaf and the grandson of noted potter Carmelita Dunlap. Erik combines classic San Ildefonso imagery with his own creative style. His pottery is signed, with his Tewa name, “Than Tsideh”.  This is a small longer neck water jar with a sharp shoulder. The shoulder of the jar is painted with a feather pattern. The neck of the jar is two-toned red and black and there are two inset bands of hei-shi beads.  The jar is signed on the bottom.
