Komalestewa, Cynthia Sequi – Small Jar with Plant Designs
2"w x 1.75"h
$ 150.00
Cynthia Sequi Komalestewa (1954-2002) was a daughter of Hugh Sequi (who was the brother of Helen Naha) 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, and painted with bee-weed and natural clay slips. This small jar has a lightning design around the neck and plant designs near the base. It is intricately painted for the size. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “C. Sequi Komalestewa”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
