Patricia Honie was from the Hopi village of Sichomovi at First Mesa.  She was a sister of noted potter Juanita Healing.  Patricio began making pottery around 1960 and continued through 1987.  This is a classic tile with a Hopi style tumbling bird.  It is painted with bee-weed (black) and traditionally fired.  It is signed on the back, “Patricia Honie”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
