Large Hopi Polychrome Bowl by Nampeyo, c.1920

This example from Nampeyo's mature period dates to 1920, and appears to be molded by Nampeyo and painted by her daughter Fannie. The design is a classic example of Nampeyo's Sikyatki Revival, with the familiar abstract bird face with eyes and a beak that she used on many of pots. The bowl measures 5 3/4" height and 12 1/2" diameter, and is in excellent condition with one small rim chip repair.
