$ 2,000.00

Les Namingha has, over the years, created exciting variations in his pottery with new painting and technical styles. This jar has a round shoulder and a sloping side to a short neck.  The top is painted with Hopi-inspired “bluebirds and blackbirds”.  The birds are swirling across the top of the jar and each has stylized Hopi designs within its borders.  Around the shoulder is a tightly painted bird wing design.  The bottom is painted a greenish-gray coloration.  Les Namingha remains one of those potters who continues to defy expectations in his innovative clay art.  He pulls from his artistic background as well as his Zuni and Hopi heritage.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “Les Namingha”.
