Paqua Naha was the mother of noted potter Joy “Frogwoman” Navasie and the mother-in-law of Helen “Featherwoman” Naha. She is known for her traditional designs and use of the various colors of clay at Hopi. She developed the white-ware around 1951-2. She was the first to sign her pottery with her Frog Hallmark, as “Paqua” means Frog in Hopi.  This is a classic open bowl that is fully polished on the inside and outside.  The inside has a mottled center with painted red and black designs creating a spiraling flower in the center.  The exterior is plain and the bowl was traditionally fired and signed with her hallmark frog. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
