Namingha, Jocelyn Quam – Jar with Eagle Feathers and Rising Sun

Jocelyn Quam Namingha is the wife of noted potter Les Namingha.  This jar is coil-built, stone polished, and painted with bee-weed (black).  The jar is thin-walled and has a round shoulder and short neck.  The piece is painted on the shoulder with alternating eagle feathers and a rising sun design.  It is very tightly painted and a design that seems both modern and traditional.  It is signed on the bottom, “Jocelyn Quam Namingha”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
