Jurors' Comments:
M. Polyestewa: It just caught my eye the very first time I walked in; it is authentically done. It uses turquoise and coral to bring out the butterfly designs which represents beauty and life.
A. Abeita: This beautiful pot has wonderful symmetry and beautiful design concept.
J. Ware: (of the Runner Up - Navaho Cooking Jar) Wonderful combination of a traditional jar form with corn handles. It has superb symmetry and execution throughout. A unique piece that deserves to be recognized.
