Garrett Maho is known for his traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  This jar has a classic moth pattern. The jar itself is a classic shape with the high shoulder and slightly turned out rim.  There are four moths painted above the shoulder.  Check out the detail int he heads and the bodies.  Below the shoulder is a band of traditional wind and cloud patterns.  The jar is highly polished and the deep red is an additional clay slip while the black is painted with 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.
