Classic Water Jar with Bear Paws
Th
is pot is a medium size Water Jar with a tapered neck and four Bear paw designs. This pot has the Bear Paw design carved into the neck of the jar.
This design signifies the time when our people were still residing in the Puye Cliff Dwellings. There was a time of drought in the cliff dwellings and the men would find the bear claws markings where they would find water. The Bear Paw design was then put on the waterjar as a sign of respect and thanksgiving.
This pot is hand coiled with all native hand dug clay, deep carved design, stone burnished to get the shine with another native clay.
Firing is done in the traditional way, outdoors- using cottonwood, cedar and then smothered with manure to achieve the black style.
