This is one of the most complex and largest carved jars by Les Namingha to date.  The jar has separated bands of deep carving with cloud, lightning, rain and bird wing designs.  Each band is deeply carved and painted.  Note the complexity of the carving and the number of sharp angles!  Near the neck are circular carved sections. The coloration and design is stunning on this large jar.  Les is a descendant of Nampeyo and learned to make pottery from his aunt Dextra Quotskuyva.  It is signed on the bottom.
