$ 1,200.00
LuAnn Tafoya is a daughter of Margaret Tafoya and is known for her large, highly polished pottery. This jar is a classic Santa Clara shape with a low shoulder and sloping neck. The jar is fully carved around the shoulder with a varied rain and lightning design. The imagery flows across the surface as the jar. The piece is very highly polished and traditionally fired red. The recessed area surrounding the carving is filled in using white or cream-colored clay. This creates a striking visual contrast between the tan and red areas. The coloration is beautiful, and the shape of his piece is a great example of her skill, creativity, and commitment to traditional Santa Clara pottery. The jar is signed on the bottom, “LuAnn Tafoya”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
