Marcella Yepa, Pottery, Polished, Painted, Jemez Handmade, 6"

Marcella Yepa’s handmade Jemez pottery radiates elegance and cultural resonance in this beautifully polished and painted vessel. The form is classic yet contemporary, with a matte tan surface contrasted by a deeply carved red band that flows diagonally across the body. A striking stepped design rises up the neck—symbolic of prayer, journey, or the sacred path upward in Pueblo belief. A single turquoise stone is thoughtfully inlaid, adding a sacred element and a pop of vibrant color that honors the earth and sky. The finish is impeccably smooth and reflective, showcasing Yepa’s signature attention to surface and contour. Handcrafted from natural clay and pigments, this piece reflects both tradition and innovation within Jemez pottery.
