This is a creative jar by Daniel Begay. The piece is coil-built, carved, stone-polished, and traditionally fired. The jar is entitled, “Follow your Path”. It is an elegant shape with a high, round shoudler. The neck is slipped with mica. Around the shoulder are four turtles, each with a different design on their shell. As well, below each turtle is a different design, from rounded or angular waves to clouds and mist. The jar has a lot of carving and various designs! The areas are both polished and matte and create a striking visual flow across the surface of the piece. It was traditionally fired a glassy black coloration. The style of carving has a beveled appearance to the angle of the cuts into the clay. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Daniel Begay”.
