This is a superb pottery moth jar.  It is decorated with traditional Hopi design elements. There are 4 panels- 4 moths are featured with red wings interspersed with geometric designs, kiva steps and fine lines covering most of the vessel.  There is a nice band that borders the top and bottom of the design.  The design work is exceptional. It has a very nice shape that is well balanced and symmetrical.  This work of art was made by the traditional methods from native Hopi clay, hand coiled, hand polished and painted.  It was traditionally pit fired.  It is signed on the bottom by the artist.  Some minor wear on the bottom.
