Helen Naha created distinctive pottery using the white kaolin clay slip throughout her career.  The designs were all painted using bee-weed (black) and natural clay slips.  She learned to make pottery from her mother-in-law, Paqua Naha yet had her own style in form, imagery, and composition. This water jar has a round body and an elongated neck. The neck of the jar is fired the natural color of the clay.  The body of the jar has a bat wing design that is painted on all four sides.  It is a striking and intricately painted piece.  The bottom has her hallmark “feather”.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  There is a first place ribbon from the 1983 Gallup Intertribal Ceremonials.
