This is a large water 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 a classic for her with a round body and a slightly turned out neck.  The neck has a single band of rain and cloud designs. The sides of the jar are fully painted in four panels.  Two panels are birds and the other two are bird tail designs. The black painted with bee-weed (a plant) and the red is a deeper red clay she began to use in the 1980’s.  The jar is fully polished, even on the inside!  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.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
