Hopi Sikyatki-inspired Tall Seed Jar [SOLD]

Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo was a third generation descendant of Nampeyo of Hano. Her mother was Rachel Namingha Nampeyo and her grandmother was Annie Healing Nampeyo. She continued using the Sikyatki revival designs taught to her by Nampeyo. She was an outstanding potter and her designs were always beautifully executed.
