Description
Being offered is a truly old, antique, Hopi Indian bowl. This was crafted sometime from the early 1900's to the 1930's. The bowl has an eye dazzler design and pattern. The bowl shows age and wearing. There is a section where the design is worn off. The top edge has some nips and dings. There are surface scuffs, scratches, abrasions, and dings, there is a hairline in one area, but the bowl is intact with no missing. Based on the age and era, this originated from the Nampeyo era, so might have been crafted by her or her family. Tried to research this design and pattern and could not find anything similar to attribute this to Nampeyo. Approx. 7 3/4" wide by 2 3/8" tall. SH is included in the shipping price along with double boxing.I found some information about her on Wikipedia which stated, "Nampeyo (1859 –1942) was a Hopi-Tewa potter who lived on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Her Tewa name was also spelled Num-pa-yu, meaning "snake that does not bite". Her name is also cited as "Nung-beh-yong," Tewa for Sand Snake. She used ancient techniques for making and firing pottery and used designs from "Old Hopi" pottery and sherds found at 15th-century Sikyátki ruins on First Mesa.
Nampeyo was born on First Mesa in the village of Hano, also known as Tewa Village which is primarily made up of descendants of the Tewa people from Northern New Mexico who fled west to Hopi lands about 1702 for protection from the Spanish after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
Her mother, White Corn was Tewa; her father Quootsva, from nearby Walpi, was a member of the Snake clan. According to tradition, Nampeyo was born into her mother's Tewa Corn clan. She had three older brothers, Tom Polacca, Kano, and Patuntupi, also known as Squash; Her brothers were born from about 1849 to 1858.
Nampeyo could not read or write and never went to school."
