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 is one of the few canteens we have had by Rachel.  It is coil-built and the handles are polished red. The front of the canteen has an eagle tail painted with bee-weed and the horizon area above it is also polished red.  The canteen was traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom, ‘Rachel Nampeyo”.  It is in very good with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
