Val Kahe is a daughter of noted potter Gloria Kahe.  This seedpot is coil-built, stone polished, and painted with bee-weed (black) and red clay slips.  The top has swirling bird wings, rain, and other geometric designs.  The designs swirl out from the opening and are highlighted with polished red areas.  It is a very tightly painted seedpot!  The piece has been traditionally fired to create fire clouds.  It is signed on the bottom, “Val Kahe”.
