Sahme, Jean – Jar with Bat Wing Designs (2000s)
4.75"w x 4"h
$ 450.00
Jean Sahme was a daughter of noted potter Priscilla Nampeyo and a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano. This jar is coil-built, stone polished, and painted with bee-weed and a deep red clay. The jar has a bat-wing design on each side. They are tightly painted and filled with thin interconnecting lines. It is one of the few times we have seen this traditional design on her pottery. The jar was traditionally fired to create the blushes on the surface. It is striking in design, size, and coloration. It is signed on the bottom, “Sak’honsee”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
