About The Rainbow Deity Wedding Jar

Interestingly this jar wears an earthy appeal as a distinctly hand-fashioned demonstration of Faye Tso's handiwork. Her innovative appliqued work served as a springboard for later generations of Navajo potters.

Marked Down from $200 to $125

About Faye Tso

(1934-2004) Herbalist and healer, was one of the master Dineh (Navajo) potters. She was one of the first Dineh potters to use unconventional imagery on her pottery.

Her work has been exhibited at the Northern Arizona University and Heard museums and is featured in The People Speak: Navajo Folk Art by Chuck and Jan Rosenak (1994, Northland Publishing).

Tso dug her clay at Coal Mine Mesa, where she also gathered pinon from which she extracted the pitch resin used to coat and seal her Dineh pottery.
