This may be the largest piece we have had from Tyra Naha.  She 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 is a large, wide shoulder bowl made in the form of the classic Sikyatki pottery.  The bowl is slipped white and then painted with four “tumbling” hummingbirds.  Each bird is painted with bee-weed (black) and then highlighted with additional clay slips for the color.  The style of the birds is inspired by the tumbling birds on Rainy’s pottery. Around the neck of the bowl is an eternity band.  This design was always on Helen Naha’s Awatovi designed vessels.  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.
