Naha, Tyra – Jar with Tumbling Parrots and Parrot Katsina

6"w x 6.5"h

$ 800.00

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 of her grandmother, Helen “Feather Woman” Naha.  This jar is coil-built and painted with native clay slips and bee-weed (black).  The piece has an amazing amount of coloration from the various clay slips.  There are two sections with Parrot Katsinas and two sections with tumbling parrots. They are each separated by bands of colorful feather designs.  Note as well the checkerboard pattern around the neck.  The jar is exceptional in design and imagery. The jar is traditionally fired and signed on the bottom with a feather and spider (Spider Clan ) and a “3” for being the Third Generation of the Naha family.
