This is an intricately designed and highly polished jar by Jennifer Moquino.  The jar jar captures a group of Cedar Waxwing birds in motion around the jar.  Each bird is captured in a different state of flight.  There are additional flowers surrounding the birds.  In the center of the jar is a more deeply carved area which is slipped with a micaceous clay, which contrasts with the polished surfaces.  The bottom of the jar has etched cloud and wind patterns, much in the style of her father Ray Tafoya.  All the various colors are from natural clay slips. Jennifer is extraordinary in her use of realism on her pottery and capturing a moment in time.
