BJ Frauga is known for her classic style of Jemez pottery. This jar has a narrow base, a wide shoulder, and a short neck.  Carved into the shoulder of the jar is an undulating band.  It is painted with natural clay slips to create a cloud and rain pattern.  The remainder of the jar is fully polished tan, which is the natural color of the clay.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “B. J. Fragua”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
