Fragua, Glendora – Tan Jar with Yei Figure, Three Sun Designs, Coral and Ribbon (1993)

Glendora Fragua is known for her polished and intricately incised pottery.  This jar is fully polished tan, the natural color of the clay.  The jar has three suns etched into the clay. There is an additional large Rainbow Yei figure.  The designs are etched and highlighted with additional clay slips for coloration. The jar was fired, and there are coral insets in each of the designs.  The jar has a lid that is also polished tan.  The piece is signed on the bottom with a corn stalk, Glendora’s hallmark.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  There is a ribbon from the 1993 NAAI Art Show in Fountain Hills, Arizona.
