Al Qoyawayma often creates vessels based on ancient forms. This large jar is based on the Gila River forms which were wide and had a low, sharp shoulder. On this jar, it is fully polished and Al has created a scene with figurative dancers which are pushed out from the inside in the clay. The jar has a procession of dancers encircling the piece. Each is matte while the area around is polished. The last figure is a small boy and as the jar is turned, he is being chased by a jaguar! The form and design are both humorous and charming on this piece. It is signed on the bottom.
