Featured in this lot is a Hopi-Tewa artist, Garnet Pavatea, redware textured bowl. Hopi-Tewa artist, Garnet Pavatea had a long and productive career of pottery making and was a favorite of collectors of Hopi-Tewa pottery. She was an active potter from circa 1940 to circa 1981. She is best known for, and was fond of, making plain red bowls and jars with triangular indentations around the rim as the sole decoration. Often, she made ladles to accompany her bowls. The Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff amassed a major collection of her work. She passed away in 1981. Known as Flower Girl, Garnet Pavatea (1915-1981) was a Hopi-Tewa from the Tewa Village on First Mesa on the Hopi Reservation, where she also lived. Her dad, Dewakuku, was Hopi and her mother was Tewa. Following tradition, Garnet was of her mother's clan. The overall condition of this pot is good with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this pottery vessel are 3" x 6" x 6". (30037)
