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 jar has high sides and it is painted with a sun design that is repeated four times.  Each sun is surrounded by a rain and star pattern.  As with much of Helen’s pottery, the inside is fully polished.  She would always try to make the mouth of the vessel large enough so she could get her hand inside to polish the inside.  The bottom has her hallmark “feather”.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
