   Fannie Polacca Nampeyo (1900-1987) was a daughter of Nampeyo and Lesou and she had two sisters, Annie Healing and Nellie Douma.  They were all Corn Clan, the clan of their mom.  Lesou was Tobacco Clan but clan inheritance is from the mother.  Fannie had 7 children-Thomas, Elva, Tonita, Iris, Leah, Harold and Ellsworth-all of whom were potters, full time or occasionally.

This jar with the migration pattern is very typical in vessel shape and design of her wares.  Interestingly, it is a medium-sized one whereas many were either small or very large.  This one is a very good size for most collectors.
