Toni Roller has always been a very traditionalist potter, following the strictest meaning of the word.  She uses only traditional designs taught her by her mother Margaret Tafoya.  She also uses only traditional materials and firing techniques.  This jar was constructed using coils and burnished with polishing stones.  The carved designs are squared off feathers draped from the rim.

The jar is signed and dated 1-85.  It was originally purchased directly from the artist.

Condition: The jar is in original condition

Provenance: ex. coll. Albuquerque pottery collector
