Earlene  Youngbird-Tafoya is known for her polychrome painted pottery.  This jar is fully polished red and has an avanyu painted onto the surface around the body of the piece.  She has used both cream and tan-colored clay slips. The contrast of the matte against the deep red coloration is striking!  The jar is signed, “Earlene  Youngbird”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
