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 small bowl is polished on the exterior and painted with bee-weed (black) and red clay slip. The design has a hummingbird on two sides. Separating the birds are hummingbird tail designs. The bowl was traditionally fired so there are blushes on the surface. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair with some small areas of spalling. It is signed on the bottom, “Rachel Nampeyo”.
