This large jar by Jennifer Moquino is fully designed with butterflies and birds.  The jar has three large medallions, each etched with a different bird.  There is a Cedar Waxwing, American Kestral and Red-Breasted Nuthatch.  The butterflies are Texan Ceregentor, Desert Green and Phoebus Parnassian.  They are all very intricately etched and slipped with additional clay slips for the coloration. The jar is also lidded with a Painted Lady butterfly on top.  Separating all the medallions are small flowers.  Check out the detail on the various birds, and even on the tree behind the Nuthatch!  The jar itself is very highly polished.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It received a blue ribbon at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2008.  The ribbon is signed by judges Christine McHorse and Clarence Cruz.  It is this creative evolution in her work which keeps  Jennifer as one of the leading innovative potters working today!
