This is a classic bowl by Camille “Hisi” Nampeyo.  She learned to make pottery from her mother, Dextra Quotskuyva.  She is 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 Hopi-Tewa shape with an eagle tail design. The piece is coil-built and fully polished.  The top has four eagle tails as design.  They are painted with bee-weed (black) and highlighted with red polished areas.  The top of the bowl has a star pattern accented with polished red.  The bowl was traditionally fired to create fire clouds on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Hisi Nampeyo” It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
