Jennifer Tafoya is known for her clay vessels and also her amazing animal figures!  This jar is a striking shape with a wide shoulder and short neck.  The top of the jar is fully designed with four Monarch butterflies.  They are surrounded by cherry blossoms.  The detail in the wings is amazing!  Note the matte area, which is like water swirling below the butterflies!  The neck of the jar, like the jar itself, is square.  It has indented or fluted sides.  The very top edge is slipped with mica.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jennifer Tafoya”.
