7.25"w x 10.5"h

$ 850.00

This large jar by Sherry Tafoya is an elegant shape with a high round shoulder and elongated neck. The jar is carved around the body of the piece with a water serpent (avanyu) design.  The neck of the jar is fully polished.  The complexity of her designs is certainly reminiscent of the work of her aunt, Teresita Naranjo.  It is always nice to see a balance of form and design in pottery!  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay.
