Description: Hand coiled pot of native clays (including a two clay mix) with katsina designs, traditionally fired.

Jurors' Comments: (unanimous decision) The multiple use of clays and a strong 3-D relief look all struck the jurors. Juror Gerard Tsonakwa also noted that its design sense was so strong that it was a look that could define a "style."
