This is a small jar by Mabel Sunn from the 1970’s. The piece is made using an paddle-and-anvil technique and twice fired.  The black designs are derived from a mixture of mesquite sap and cactus spines.  Today, there are very few Maricopa artists making pottery.  This jar has a mountain and cloud design around the neck.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, ‘M. Sunn”.   It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
