thinly carved feathers encircling the top of the bowl. It’s amazing how she could even carve into the clay with such small, symmetric lines!  Below the feathers is a very deeply carved avanyu encircling the jar.  The body of the avanyu swirls around the piece with cloud and rain designs. There is her classic round lid that fits perfectly into the mouth of the bowl.  The piece is very is highly polished to a stunning shine. It is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Nancy Youngblood”.
