Garrett Maho is known for his traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  Garrett said that the designs on this jar were inspired by the work of his grandmother,  Marilyn Mahle.  She would often use this classic style of Hopi birds as a design on her pottery.  The jar itself is highly polished.  The birds encircle the jar, rising above and below the shoulder.  They are painted with bee-weed and an additional red clay slip.  There is also the mauve clay slip, which is used on two sections of the jar.  The black is bee-weed, a plant.  The jar has been traditionally fired so that there are blushes on the surface.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay.  Garrett most recently won “Best of Pottery” at the 2018 Heard Indian Market.
