This jar is an classic shape for Al Qoyawayma.  The jar has a high round shoulder.  The entire piece is fully polished tan with one carved area of design. The image is a stylized mosquito, inpsired by the designs painted on the Kiva Murals and pre-historic pottery throughout the Southwest.  Note the various levels of carving on this piece and the four directional symbolism in the center of the figure.  All the various colorations are natural clay slips which are matte and polished.  The lid adds to the overall symmetry and elegance of the jar.  It is a stunning piece with a simplicity in form but complexity in the design.
