This is a complicated jar by Les Namingha. The shape has an asymmetrically shaped rim.   The jar is titled, “Lair” and it has white painted Hopi style parrots.  They spiral around the jar and they are each painted with multi-color dots.  The around behind the birds are painted with complex geometrics.  There are bird wing patterns near the rim.  The background of the jar is painted with a metallic/micaceous color, which shows up well below the shoulder.  The complexity of this piece is perfect for this shape, which gives lots of “canvas space” for the design.   Les is a descendant of Nampeyo and learned to make pottery from his aunt Dextra Quotskuyva.  It is signed on the bottom.
