This is an intricately designed new seed jar by Jennifer Tafoya.    She is known for her clay vessels and also her amazing animal figures and for this show, they are animals from the “Ice Age”!  This piece is fully polished and fully designed.  It has a square shape and a short neck.  There are three Dodo birds etched into the clay.  They are each in a different position and the detail on them is amazing!  Check out the precision in the faces!  They are surrounded by traditional Santa Clara designs.  Jennifer continues to not just be creative in design, but in technique.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jennifer Tafoya”.
