Jean Sahme is a daughter of Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo. This tile features a quite modern bird design.
It is signed on the back with her hallmark, her clan symbol and her Hopi name Sak’Honsee. This is a later work, I am told, because Jean changed her hallmark signature to the one shown in the second detail image.
