Hopi Figural Ladle, attributed to Nellie Nampeyo, c. 1930

This charming Hopi ladle features a woman with the traditional hair style of Hopi maidens on the handle. The black rim frames nice abstract designs on the interior of the ladle and a fine cream slip. Although unsigned, the piece matches similar works by Nampeyo’s daughter, Nellie.

This special piece measures 5” in length and 3 ¼” in diameter.
