This lidded jar by Grace Medicine Flower is from 1989 shows the transition of her work from sgraffito designs to a combination of carved and etched imagery. This jar has an elegant shape and the entire piece is fully polished. The bottom half is fully carved and polished with melon ribs. Note the sharp edge of each rip and how the area between the ribs are also fully polished! The area around the shoulder is fully polished and etched with hummingbirds. The lid is unique with a single melon “rib” cutting across the surface. It perfectly ties the entire piece together! It is signed on the bottom, “Grace Medicine Flower”. The jar is in excellent condition with no chips,cracks restoration or repair. It is elegant and stunning! Over her career she made very few black pieces and yet they are always stunning and creative!
