Still Life Painting of Hopi Pueblo Material Culture [SOLD]

In this painting, Naha has gathered together items of Hopi material culture in a grouping. Included are three Katsina dolls, a gourd rattle, two arrows, an ear of corn, and a sash. It appears that he has used a sheep skin as backing for the items.

As usual, Naha did a superb job of rendering each single item. His attention to the minutest details is evident in all his work. This is an exceptional painting and in original excellent condition.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Frances Balcomb, owner of Balcomb’s Gallery, at one time located in Arizona, then Taos, Gallup, and Albuquerque, but closed since 1976.
