Hopi Pottery Jar by Rachel Nampeyo
Included in this lot is a Hopi pottery jar made by Rachel Nampeyo. Hopi Pueblo artist, Rachel Sahmie Nampeyo’s specialty is Sikyatki Revival shapes and designs, brought back into popularity by her great grandmother, Nampeyo of Hano. She is an accomplished potter, as is evident by her success in creating flattop seed jars. Rachel has been actively potting from about 1970 to the present. Rachel is a daughter of Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo and has seven siblings, all of whom are potters or Katsina doll carvers. This piece displays a wonderfully executed, geometric, finely stylized pattern of red and black, all displayed on a cream-colored slip background. This piece is in good condition, only showing a few chips of the paint. This piece measures 3 1/4" by 3 1/4".
