Hopi Polychrome White-Slipped Open Bowl by Nampeyo, c.1910

Nampeyo (1856-1942) made this open bowl around 1910. This example shows a later, more perfected version of Nampeyo’s white slip. The design is classic Nampeyo, with a “sky” band at the top, with hatched horns or talons dropping down. The bowl measures 1 ¼” height and 6 ¼” diameter, and is in excellent, original condition.
