This is a smaller jar by Mark Tahbo.  The jar has a wide, round body and a slight neck. The designs painted on the sides are three different bird tails.  Each of them is different in color and style.  One of them is just black, the others combined more red.  Note the intricately painted patterns and how Mark flows them across the shoulder and reinforces the shape of the piece!  The red on the jar is a the classic red clay slip, which is  a beautiful contrast to the blushes of the clay.  The black is bee-weed (a plant) and the red is a natural clay slip.  The jar is traditionally fired to create the various colorations from the heat of the fire. It is signed on the bottom with a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
