6.25"w x 7"h

This is a complex asymmetric jar by Les Namingha.  The jar has a metallic appearance on the surface, almost bronze in color.  There are four swirling Hopi-Tewa style birds on the jar.  Two are above the shoulder and two below.  The two above have Hopi-Tewa designs and the white migration path has small pointillism dots.  The two birds are more minimalist with pointillism and black migration lines.  The asymmetric, almost gourd-like shape, works to emphasize the design as the piece is turned.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Les Namingha  2020”.
