Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo Pottery C3868CThis Hopi Small Bowl with Rim Design was constructed with native clay and stone polished on the interior and exterior without addition of slip.  The burnish is on the natural clay body.  The design was painted on the exterior of the rim in a repetitive pattern in dark brown pigment.


The bowl is simple and elegant and a testament to the creative talent of Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo (1928- ) who could visualize the elegance of a simple design on an open bowl and apply the design with painted perfection.  It is signed Dextra Quotskuyva on the underside.
