This is one of Virgil’s important vessels created within the context of his Pueblo Revolt 1680/2180 series.  The jar features Tahu, the head of the Blind Archers as the primary character.  Tahu is featured twice on the jar and the design separating her are the wild flower patterns. They have an organic style of flow as they encircle the jar.    The jar has the “spirit line” which is a break in the painting on the rim.  It has been traditionally fired and uses native clay, native clay slips and wild spinach (the black).  The piece is signed on the bottom  and it is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  The use of traditional and contemporary imagery has become a standard for Virgil’s pottery as he pushes the boundaries of contemporary Native clay.
