This is an striking jar by Les Namingha.  The jar has a double shoulder  with an indention in the side near the base and one around the shoulder.  The form and a slight neck. The surface is gunmetal metallic in coloration.  The surface is then fully painted with linear geometrics.  The lines seem to flow endlessly across the surface of the piece. They seem to create a series of fineline constellation patterns with dots of gold and black in the background against the metallic “sky”.  The intricacy of the linear design is both delicate and consuming of the surface.  Les is a descendant of Nampeyo and learned to make pottery from his aunt Dextra Quotskuyva.  It is signed on the bottom.
