Sylvia Naha created pieces with a white clay polished surface painted with bee-weed (black) and native clay slips.  Throughout the 1980s, Sylvia was considered among the most innovative of the Hopi potters.  Her pieces were classic in form and amazingly intricate in design.  This seedpot has two of her classic lizards on the top. One is painted with pottery shard designs and the other has a triangular geometric.  The surrounding area is mottled brown. The bottom half is VERY intricately painted with thin lines surrounded by cloud patterns.  This style of linear work was the Naha family version of the classic Migration pattern.  The bottom of the seedpot is signed with a feather and an “S”.  The piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
