5"w x 7.75"h

$ 400.00

Jamie Peynetsa 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.  This small duck figure is a charming piece. The painted designs on the body are designed to replicate the wings.  There are cloud and rain designs.  The eyes are painted with red clay and the dots on the head are raised.  On the top of the head there are four clay “feathers”.   Note how well Jamie paints to match design and form.  It is signed by Jamie and his mother on the bottom.  At only 20 years old, he certainly has a great future in pottery!
