Eiva Lalo Nampeyo is a daughter of Elva Tewaguna Namepyo, a granddaughter of Fannie Nampeyo, the great-granddaughter of the Nampeyo of Hano. She is a sister to potters Adelle, Miriam Nampeyo, Elton Tweaguna, and Neva Nampeyo. She learned to make pottery from her mother and grandmother. This jar is a striking variation on the classic batwing design. Here there is a linear pattern above the shoulder which then extends down to the batwing patterns. The red clay slip is used to highlight the bat wings. It is signed on the bottom, “Eiva L. Nampeyo”.
