This jar by Les Namingha is entitled, “Scalunck” and combines a classic Hopi shape with contemporary flowing designs.  The surface is textured and painted. As for the name and the design, I had to ask Les!  He says of the title:

“Scalunck”. Noun. An abstract word created by me to title this work befitting the abstracted, non-subject design on the jar.  The was formed by scouring innermost internet for unusual words.”

There is certainly both the abstract and unique flow of designs across the surface of the piece.  It is exciting to see how Les reinterprets such pivotal historic designs on his pottery.  The jar is signed on the bottom.
