Occasionally a black polished jar just takes one's breath away. That was the effect this jar had on staff at the gallery and has had on clients who walk in to the gallery and see it. We all know that Margaret Tafoya was an amazing potter who produced large and magnificent wares, but, even so, it is still an emotional shock to see a jar that is so commanding of one's attention because it is so visually magnificent and so elegant and regal. Those may be adjectives not normally ascribed to pottery but they are appropriate for this jar.
