$ 150.00

Cynthia Sequi Komalestewa (1954-2002) was a daughter of Hugh Sequi and a sister of Miltona Naha.  Her aunt-in-law was Helen Naha.  Cynthia made traditional Hopi-Tewa pottery with her own spin on the Naha family style.  She learned a lot of her pottery techniques from Syliva Naha.  Each piece was coil built, stone polished, painted with bee-weed and natural clay slips.  This seedpot has a hummingbird and corn design on the top.  The bottom half is very intricately designed with a star pattern. There are additional white and red clay slips used to accentuate the design.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “C. Sequi Komalestewa”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
