Tso, Jr., Damon – “Dragonflies over the Water” Jar, Ribbon
4.5"w x 4.25"h
$ 500.00
Damon Tso, Jr., is a self-taught potter. He began making pottery in 2003 and each piece is coil-built and made from clay that he sources from near his home in Buffalo Springs, New Mexico. This jar has a high, round shoulder and a sloping neck. There are four rows of ribs carved into the clay representing a river. On top of the ribs are five dragonflies in relief. The jar was traditionally fired and then covered with pinon-pitch after the firing. The jar is VERY thin-walled and has a striking coloration from the firing. It is signed, “Damon Tso, Jr.” on the bottom. There is a blue ribbon from the 2023 Gallup Ceremonials.
