Jennifer Moquino is known for her clay vessels and exceptional realistic animals. This jar is coil built and fully polished.  It is a wonderful shape which is square on the sides and flat on the top. Technically that is always difficult to achieve with native clay. The flat area has four pheasants etched into the clay.  Each one is in a different state of standing both male and female.  Note the area behind where she has etched some very intricate plants with grass,w wind and mountain patterns!  This pot has a tall polish neck flowing into the flat carved areas.   The bottom is also fully polished.  All the colors are all from natural clay slips.  Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today!
