Pottery Polychrome bowl, signed Fannie Nampeyo. She was the youngest of three daughters of the famous Nampeyo of Hano, the grand matriarch of Hopi pottery. Fannie inherited her mother’s role as the matriarch of the Corn Clan, a very important and time-consuming ceremonial position. Fannie began making pottery in her early 20s, and was among the most skilled potters of her generation. Her signature design was the migration or bird wing design, which was revived by her mother. She also assisted her near-blind mother by painting her pots that Nampeyo was still able to expertly form.Size: 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 in.Please note that all sales are final and no refunds will be given under any circumstances.
