If there ever was a vessel shape that identified itself as Santa Clara Pueblo in origin, this is it. It is one of the most beautiful and graceful shapes of any Tewa wares. It has been attributed to Sara Fina Tafoya with good reason. It exhibits her hand in every respect-shape, quality, fluted neck, and dimpled mid-body. It was constructed of native Tewa clay and coil-formed in the traditional manner.
