This is a striking jar by Joy Navasie.  It is slipped with the white clay and then painted with natural clay slips and bee-weed (black).  The shape is an unusual one for Joy with a double shoulder.  There is a band of design painted around the neck with plant and rain designs.  Around the body of the jar there are four sections of designs with stylized bird motifs.  The designs are complex and yet have a variety of imagery in each section.  The jar is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It has been traditionally fired so there are some variations in the coloration from white to almost a pinkish color.   The jar is signed on the bottom with her Frog Hallmark.  The jar was originally purchased from our gallery in the late 1990’s and there is a picture of Joy holding it in the gallery.
