$ 375.00

Ramon Howato is a son of noted potter Diana Tahbo.  He learned to make pottery from his uncle, Mark Tahbo.  This jar is coil built, painted with bee-weed and native clay slips and traditionally fired.  The jar has four stylized birds painted around the shoulder.  The neck has a checkerboard pattern.  The painting seems both traditional in style and yet with a stylistic sense of designs matching the form.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Ramon Howato” and a pipe, as he is “Tobacco Clan”.
