Tyra Naha is a daughter of Rainy Naha. She learned to make pottery from her mother and continues to make traditional style Hopi-Tewa pottery in the style her grandmother, Helen “Feather Woman” Naha. This bowl is coil coil built and painted with native clay slips and bee-weed (black). The top and bottom have the classic Awatovi star design painted onto the surface. On the sides are four turtles. Each turtle has a medallion for its “shell”. Note that each of the medallions has a different color of clay used for the stripes. The bowl is traditionally fired and signed on the bottom with a feather and spider (Spider Clan ) and a “3” for being Third Generation of the Naha family.
