Santa Clara Pueblo artist Jason Ebelacker created this marvelous highly burnished wedding vase with a bear paw impression. In an unusual style, Jason made the body of the vessel wider than thick, so the overall shape is oval. The wedding vase was purchased directly from the potter on January 5, 2017, so it was likely made in 2016. The vessel is signed on the underside concave base, but it is not dated.

Jason Ebelacker (1980- ) is a grandson of Virginia Ebelacker.
