Robert Vigil learned to make pottery from Lonnie Vigil and Virginia Gutierrez.  Each piece is coiled with micaceous clay and micaceous clay slipped.  This piece was traditionally fired to create the black coloration.  This jar is oval in shape with a sharp shoulder and elongated neck.  There are 16 carved feathers around the neck.  The piece was fired to a silvery black coloration.  It is signed on the bottom, “Robert Vigil”.
