6.5" long x 6"w x 4.5"h

$ 1,500.00

This is a uniquely shaped jar by Les Namingha. The shape has an oval body and an asymmetrical neck.  The design has four Hopi style birds painted on the surface.  The bodies of the birds are painted with more traditional designs.  Above the birds are stylized bird wing patterns.  The highly colored surface and unique shape give this jar a very modern appearance and yet with a classic Hopi-Tewa style of design.  Les is a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano and learned to make pottery from his aunt Dextra Quotskuyva.  It is signed on the bottom.
