James Garcia Nampeyo is a son of Leah Garcia Nampeyo, a grandson of Fannie Nampeyo and a great-grandson of Nampeyo of Hano.  This is a large wide shoulder jar by James.  It is fully polished and painted with a very classic eagle tail design. This motif was made famous in the pottery of Nampeyo of Hano when she revived it from historic Sikyatki pottery. The design is painted in four sections and the black is bee-weed and the red, a clay slip.  The jar is traditionally fired with some slight blushes to the surface.  It is signed on the bottom.
