NATIVE AMERICAN HOPI SEED POT FAWN NAVASIE-GARCIA HANDMADE & HANDPAINTED

Description: We have collected Native American art for more than thirty years. It's now time to reduce our collection in order to have others enjoy them. I will be listing additional pieces. This first piece is a lovely seed pot we purchased on 3/21/1998. I believe I have priced it below a gallery price.Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Seed Pot by Fawn NavasieFawn Navasie-Garcia created this simple seed pot. The top of the pot is painted with classic Hopi designs for water. Fawn is the niece of Frog Woman, daughter of the late Eunice "Fawn" Navasie, and sister to the late Dawn Navasie and Dolly Joe. James Garcia Nampeyo is her husband. Fawn is an accomplished potter and has shown at several major venues throughout the Southwest. She has been featured at shows in Santa Fe, NM, the Heard Museum in Arizona, and elsewhere. She is included in Gregory Schaaf's "Hopi-Tewa Potters," Rick Dillingham's "Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery," and "Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni" by Hayes and Blom. She signs her pieces with her hallmark "Fawn" and hoof print.In the fall the women would take the seeds for next Spring and place them in these pots and then stack them. These pots would be placed in the corner of their home, stacked so the bottom of one pot would seal the top of the other. This storage technique would save space and keep the rodents from ruining next years' seed crop.Dimensions: Approx 5" dia x 3" tall Will ship via Priority Mail
