Lucy Lewis was one of the great Matriarch potters of the past century. This small jar is coil built and painted using bee-weed (a plant).  The jar has inspired by the figurative pottery of Chaco Canyon.  The jar an elongated neck and tiny raised bird tails. There are wings painted on either side. On the front are rain designs.  The jar was traditionally fired so the white has much more of a pearlescent coloration, which creates added depth.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Lucy M. Lewis”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
