Covered jar 1980 - 1990

"Covered jar" is a ceramic work by Brian Persha, created between 1980 and 1990 and currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The jar, with its rounded shape, is decorated with a geometric pattern of black dots against a red-brown background. The jar has a lid with a leaf-like handle, adding to its intricate visual appeal. This piece exemplifies Persha's distinctive style, which combines traditional ceramic techniques with contemporary design elements. The organic forms and decorative patterns are characteristic of his work and showcase the artist's skill in shaping and glazing clay.
