This is a classic miniature by Iris Nampeyo.  Iris began using the corn in relief on the surface of her pottery in the early 1980’s. The corn is symbolic of being part of the Corn Clan.  The surface is stone polished and the corn on the front is in relief.  The corn kernels are incised, and the husk is matte.  The remainder is fully polished. It is signed on the bottom, ‘Iris Nampeyo”. It is excellent with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
