Close up view of Hopi TileThis lamp appears to have been made specifically to display two tiles—one Hopi and one commercial.  Since the tiles are fixed into the framework of the lamp, there is no way to determine the artist of either.  The woodworker was an accomplished artist as the joints are finished beautifully.

Provenance: from a local collector of Native American pottery
