Jean Sahmie is a daughter of noted potter Priscilla Nampeyo and a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano. This canteen has a katsina painted on the front.  The tablita (headdress) is painted with a deep red clay and an orange clay, which is polished. The black is bee-weed, which is a plant. The canteen is traditionally fired to create the blushes.  It is nice to see such a classic Hopi design on the pottery!  The canteen is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  There is one bit of wear on the red at the back of the spout.  It is signed on the back with her hallmark and a corn plant (for Corn Clan).  While Jean no longer makes pottery, there is a wonderful creativity in each of her pieces!
