Red Starr (Sioux) was married to Santa Clara potter Harriet Tafoya and learned to make Santa Clara pottery.  This black jar is fully polished.  There is a Buffalo Dancer on one side.  Next to the dancer is a rain cloud and a buffalo skull.  As the jar is turned, there is a band of Pueblo feathers, along with two Sioux-style eagle feathers, which are a hallmark of Red Starr’s pottery.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Red Starr”.
