Tonita Nampeyo is a daughter of Fannie Nampeyo and a granddaughter of Nampeyo of Hano.  She is known for her traditional pottery using natural clay slips and bee-weed for the black.  This jar is a taller shape with a rounded shoulder that leads to the mouth of the piece.  On one side it is painted with a traditional style hummingbird with the red polished head and wings.  On the opposite side there is another hummingbird, but the body is painted with a series of smaller Hopi designs. There are sections which are polished red.  The lines on the jar are very delicately painted in Tonita’s famous thin lines.  It has also been traditionally fired, which gives the jar the blushes on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair but some fugitive slip in the black.
