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 using traditional imagery and the delicate painting of her designs.  This bowl is thin-walled and painted with bee-weed and clay slips.  There are three hummingbirds and one flower as the design. The flower is polished white and red.  One butterfly is incised with designs on the wings while the other are slipped with red clay.  It is a creative use of design!  The bowl was traditionally fired to create 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.
