$ 500.00

Damon Tso, Jr., is a self-taught potter.  He began making pottery in 2003 and each piece is hand-built and made from clay that he sources from near his home in Buffalo Springs, New Mexico.  This jar is a pinch-pot and very thin-walled.  It has a low shoulder and sloping sides.  There are three ears of corn in relief on one side.  The kernels are incised into the clay and the husks are sculptural and angular in appearance.  The jar was traditionally fired and then covered with pinon-pitch after the firing.   It is signed, “Damon Tso, Jr.” on the bottom.
