$ 2,500.00

This jar by Al Qoyawayma is made from red Hopi clay.  It is from 1990 and has a round body and an asymmetric neck. The entire piece is fully polished except for the two ears of corn.  They are pushed out in the clay, carved and texturized and are matte.  The style of the corn is reminiscent of the work of his aunt, Elizabeth White.  She would often incorporate corn as a design on her pottery.  The coloration of the matte and polished red is striking.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
