Marcella Yepa, Pottery, Polished, Painted, Jemez Handmade, 6 1/2"

This elegant Jemez pottery seed jar by Marcella Yepa pays homage to the sacred role of corn in Pueblo culture. Hand-coiled, polished, and fired in the traditional way, the piece features a soft golden finish that highlights its graceful curves and impeccable form. At the top, a finely sculpted ear of corn emerges in low relief—symbolizing nourishment, life, and spiritual abundance. The minimalist design draws attention to the delicate craftsmanship and deep cultural symbolism embedded in the work. Yepa’s refined surface treatment and natural clay tones allow the form to speak for itself, honoring the clay’s organic beauty. A subtle air hole is placed near the top, adding authenticity and function to the piece.
