James Nampeyo Garcia (who's profiled in Pottery Gallery 3) created both of these pots this past week. The one at left is just over 3 inches high and 5.25 inches across. It is in a pattern that his mother, grandmother and great grandmother made famous. $425. The one at right has a pattern known as the Sikyatki butterfly pattern but may in fact be a species of moth known to pollinate some yucca plants. 3.75 x 7.5 inches. $800. Though James currently lives in Tucson, these two vessels were fired at Hopi. Both have the 'blush' that marks traditionally fired Hopi pottery, in fact the butterfly vessel has a small 'burn mark' from that process. |
