Nampeyo, Bonnie – Bowl with Eagle Tail Designs (1980s)
4"w x 3,5"h
$ 300.00
This is a classic bowl by Bonnie Sahmie Chapella Nampeyo. She is a daughter of Priscilla Nampeyo and a sister of noted potters Jean Sahmie, Rachel Sahmie, and Nyla Sahmie. She began making pottery in 1975. This bowl is coil-built and painted with bee-weed and a red clay slip. The design is a stylized eagle tail pattern. The rim is polished red. It is a design that matches the shape. It was traditionally fired and so it has blushes across the surface. It is signed on the bottom “Bonnie Nampeyo”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
