This is a classic water jar by Jamie Peynetsa.  He is the son of noted potters Anderson and Avelia Peynetsa.  Avelia, his mother, coil builds the clay vessel.  Jamie paints the design.  He has strong attention to the detail of the painting as well as his inspiration from classic Zuni pottery.  The top of the jar has a star pattern along with cloud and rain imagery. The classic cloud designs are then repeated on the sides of the jar.  It is slipped with white clay and then painted with black clay, in a classic Zuni style.  It is a striking use of form and design.  It is signed, “Avelia AndersonJ. Peynetsa”.
