Camille “Hisi” Quotskuyva learned to make pottery from her mother, Dextra Quotskuyva, a sister of noted painter Dan Namingha and a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano, Annie Healing and Rachel Nampeyo. She is known for her use of traditional imagery and the delicate painting of her designs. This bowl is a classic shape with a narrow base and flat top. The piece has four eagle tails painted with bee-weed (black) and highlighted with two different colors of red clay that are stone polished. The bowl was traditionally fired to create the blushes on the surface. The piece is signed on the bottom, “Hisi” and a corn plant for Corn Clan. Note the subtle variations in color from the firing. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
