$ 1,250.00

The “interlocking” or “tumbling” parrots is a design originated by Rainy Naha. This piece has a wide shape and a sloping neck. There are a total of ten parrots encircling the jar.  Five are above the shoulder, and five below.  The bodies of the birds are painted with various Hopi-Tewa designs.  They are highlighted with additional clay slips for the color.  The rim of the jar has a checkerboard pattern.  Rainy uses bee-weed (black) and natural clay slips for her colors. Each piece is traditionally fired.  The bowl is signed on the bottom with the feather hallmark and “Rainy”.
