Dextra Quostkuyva Nampeyo is certainly one of the most influential Hopi-Tewa potters of the last 50 years. Not only has she taught numerous potters (Steve Lucas, Yvonne Lucas, Les Namingha, Loren Ami, Hisi Nampeyo, to name just a few), but her creative designs and forms changed have dramatically influenced the pottery itself. This is an earlier jar from 1984. It is painted with a hummingbird pattern. The design is repeated two times around the shoulder of the piece. It is painted with natural clay slips and bee-weed (black) and traditionally fired to create the blushes or fire-clouds on the surface. The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Dextra” along with a corn plant to represent the Corn Clan. It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
