Dee Setalla is a son of noted potter Pauline Setalla and a brother of Stetson Setalla, Gwen Setalla, and Agnes Nasonhoya. This is a classic water jar shape with a high shoulder and short neck. The jar is coil built, stone polished, and painted with bee-weed (black) and various clay slips. The jar has three sections with a stylized eagle tail and bird wing design. The birds wings are polished red. Separating them are cloud and rain designs. The jar has blushes from the traditional firing. The bowl is signed with his initials “D. S.” and bear paw (for Bear Clan). Most recently, Dee won the prestigious “Helen Naha” Award at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2019.
