Category: Pottery | Posted by | Thu, Aug 4th 2016, 3:33pm
This large storage jar was purchased by the current owner directly from the potter about 15 years ago. It is decorated with pictorial elements of Mimbres rams and yucca plants. Pictorial elements on Kewa pottery, other than birds, are quite rare as almost all Kewa pottery is decorated with geometric designs in bold scale. For a potter at Kewa to use Mimbres animals on a jar is most unusual.
