Marcella Yepa, Pottery, Coil, Polished, Painted, Jemez Handmade, 4"

This striking handmade pottery piece by Jemez artist Marcella Yepa showcases her renowned mastery of coil construction and elegant form. Sculpted with swirling, hand-coiled ridges, the vessel flows with rhythmic precision, highlighting the artist’s deep connection to traditional Pueblo techniques. The natural polished tan surface contrasts beautifully with the soft sage green painted band, creating a contemporary twist on classic Native design. Each curve is meticulously smoothed and burnished to a silky finish, reflecting both light and legacy. Yepa’s work is celebrated for its sculptural quality and vibrant energy, and this piece is no exception. The pot is as much a work of fine art as it is a vessel, embodying the spirit of generations of Jemez potters.
