Jimmy Wilson (b. 1935) lives in Leupp, Arizona. He and his wife make pottery with Navajo (Diné) images from Creation Stories drawn on their surface; sometimes colored. Wilson makes shallow, incised geometric designs of Navajo people on his vessels. This jar is coil-built with a round body and a turned-out rim. The jar has a classic raised band around the neck with incised rain lines. Around the body of the jar is a cloud pattern that is inspired by the Navajo wedding baskets. The jar was traditionally fired with great coloration and then covered in pinon-pitch. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Jimmy Wilson”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. There is a Blue (First Place) ribbon from the 1984 Santa Fe Indian Market.
