Nampeyo, Nyla Sahmie – Small Jar with Awatovi Bird

Nyla Sahmie Nampeyo is a daughter of Priscilla Nampeyo and a sister of Bonnie Nampeyo, Rachel Sahmie, Randy Sahmie, Jean Sahmie, and Andrew Sahmie.  She is a great-great-granddaughter of Annie Healing and a great-great-great-granddaughter of Nampeyo of Hano.  This jar is coil-built and painted with bee weed and highlighted with a red clay slip.  The jar has a classic seed design painted on each section.  It is a creative design that fills the space of the jar. It was traditionally fired and so it has blushes across the surface.  It is signed on the bottom “N. Shamie Nampeyo”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
