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 jar is a classic shape with a round shoulder and elongated neck.  The jar has a hummingbird on each side.  They are painted with bee-weed and highlighted with polished red areas.  The jar 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.
