Camille “Hisi” Nampeyo 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 tall jar is painted with a migration pattern. This is a classic pattern which Hisi paints with numerous delicate lines.  Note the quantity of the thinly painted lines on this jar!  The black is painted with bee-weed (a plant) and the jar is traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
