Hopi Black on Red Bowl by Nampeyo

This red-slipped bowl was made by Nampeyo around 1905-1910. The bowl features a classic Sikyatki Revival swirl design, which was almost formulaic by this time, and has Nampeyo's signature rain drops on the rim. This bowl is particularly well-molded and well-fired, and is a very sturdy ceramic with no repair or restoration. The line work is a very fine example of Nampeyo's exquisite art in action. The bowl measures 3" height and 8 5/8" diameter.
