Label TextThis vessel, made by the legendary Nampeyo, has both billowing fullness and a strong sense of center. Nampeyo pioneered the modern revival of fine Pueblo pottery-making. The designs and shapes of ancient Sikyatki-style ceramics inspired Nampeyo. Her work remains important for Hopi potters today, and some of her great-granddaughters carry on the tradition.Exhibition History"Art of the American Indian: The Thaw Collection," The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, March 2, 2010 - May 30, 2010; Minneapolis Museum of Art, Minneapolis, MN, October 24, 2010 - January 9, 2011; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX, April 24, 2011 - September 23, 2011; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN, December 4, 2011 - February 12, 2012.
