Elizabeth White (1892-1990) Polingaysi Qöyawayma was the only Hopi potter who used her creativity to make pottery wind chimes, of which I am aware. I have seen simple ones by her in the past, but never have I seen such a large one as this Mudhead Katsina production. It unfortunately fell from its hanging strap in the past and the body developed cracks and a small chip broke out of the bottom rim. It is still a formidable figure and a most collectible one from a major Hopi potter.
