DescriptionA large, mostly round disk of clay, slightly concave in form, having a very irregular, rough-textured surface with indentions, tears and protrusions in the clay. The surface of the vessel is imprinted and inscribed with abstract patterning and roundish, small red objects are imbedded within the clay. The background color of approximately 2/3 of the charger is a warm, reddish-brown color, while the remainder is a charcoal grey tone; over both the brown and grey areas are bright, abstract splotches of red, green and blue.Copyright© Estate of Jim Leedy
