This is a detailed miniature jar by Dextra Quotskuyva.  She is certainly one of the great innovators among Hopi-Tewa potters.  Her work began with more classic imagery and then evolved over the years to more unique and stylized designs. This jar is from the 1980s.  It has a round body and a slightly turned out rim. The jar has the classic “black bird” migration pattern.  The design is made up of blackbird wings.  There are eight above the shoulder and eight below, for a total of 16.  That is a very detailed design for the size!   The jar was traditionally fired to create subtle colorations on the surface of the piece.  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Dextra” and an ear of corn, as she was Corn Clan.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Dextra has been the subject of a retrospective of her pottery at the Wheelwright called “Painted Perfection“.
