Laura Gachupin Jemez Pottery Jar
Incised Signature "Laura Gachupin - Jemez" with her iconic cornstalk.
This thin-walled pottery jar from Jemez Pueblo was made by Laura Gachupin in the 1990's. It features a red shoulder, with a square opening, elegant melon-ribbed body, with ribs starting thin, expanding to wider at midpoint and getting smaller as they approach the base. The interior of the jar was smoothly finished.
