WOW!  This is a striking larger jar by Maria Martinez and her son, Popovi Da.  Maria made and polished the bowl while it was painted by her son, Popovi Da  (1923-1971). The jar is highly polished and has a feather pattern painted around the shoulder.  There are 40 symmetrically painted feathers encircling the piece. Below the feathers are four painted lines.  The jar was fired a glassy gunmetal coloration with a very silvery appearance.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Maria Popovi 362“. The firing date signature indicates that made in March 1962.   The jar is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
