Nampeyo, Rachel – Bowl with Bird Wing Designs (1980’s)
7"w x 3.5"h
$ 350.00
Rachel Namingha Nampeyo was a granddaughter of Nampeyo of Hano and a daughter of Annie Healing. She was the mother of noted potters Priscilla Nampeyo, Dextra Quotskuyva, Eleanor Lucas, Emerson Namingha, and Ruth Namingha. She was known for her use of traditional designs on her pottery and for continuing the pottery legacy of her grandmother. This bowl has a round shape, and is a very late piece in her career. The bowl was purchased from Rachel and has a note that says, “Rachel one of the last ones she did in the early 80’s”. While it is a larger bowl, the painting is less even, probably a result of her age. The piece has a birdwing design. It is painted with bee-weed and red clay slips. The bowl is signed on the bottom, ‘Rachel Nampeyo”. It is in very good with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
