$ 3,800.00

This is charming smaller water jar by Nathan Youngblood.  The jar is is a striking shape with a high shoulder and a slightly turned out neck.  Around the body of the piece there are two very deeply carved avanyu encircling the piece.  The bodies of the avanyu (water serpent) are made up of cloud, rain and water designs. Note the complexity and intricacy of the carved sections!  The jar is fully polished and has Nathan’s “glass-like” appearance to the stone polished surface.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay with his name and deer tracks, which represent his name in Tewa.
