Large Hopi Polychrome Bowl by Nampeyo/Fannie, c.1930 updated

This example from Nampeyo's mature period dates to 1930, and was 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. This large attractive bowl has a big presence.
