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.  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.  His pottery is signed on the bottom with his Tewa name, “Than Tsideh”.
