This is an outstanding authentic early Hopi pottery polychrome olla attributed to renowned master potter Old Lady Nampeyo of Hano (Hopi-Tewa, 1859-1942). The olla or bowl dates to circa 1900-1940’s. The piece shows a fantastic three-color polychrome geometric traditional pigment painted design with classic olla bowl pottery pattern. Nampeyo (Tewa name Num-pa-yu, meaning “snake that does not bite”) was a Hopi-Tewa potter who is one of the most renowned master of her era with works in the National Museum of American Art, Museum of Northern Arizona, Spurlock Museum and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. The piece shows a wonderfully executed geometric finely stylized pattern of red, brown / black all displayed on a cream-colored slip background. The piece shows wear and signs of use consistent with its very early age. The works show the correct manufacture and fine craftsmanship along with being unmarked, which is consistent with other authentic Nampeyo pieces of an early age such as this piece. The piece is of a nice medium size and shows an overall good condition with no visible cracks or chips with slight paint loss. Measures overall 5.25”W diameter by 2 7/8”H. Shown are several digital photographs of Nampeyo which are not included.
