A Sikyatki revival style seed jar by Fannie Nampeyo (1900-1987). The pot has a low shoulder form with a narrow mouth and wide body. It features intricate linework and motifs symbolic of birds' feathers and their migration patterns. Signed on the underside, "Fannie Nampeyo," above a cornstalk drawing, representing the Corn Clan of the Hopi-Tewa community.
Fannie Nampeyo was the youngest daughter of renowned potter Nampeyo of Hano and is considered one of the most skilled painters of her generation. She was born to the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan and later inherited her mother's role as matriarch. Fannie began making pottery in her early 20s, and while her mother revived bird and migration motifs, Fannie adopted it as a signature design of own work, displayed on this piece. Throughout her life, Fannie earned many awards and recognitions for her pottery and pieces can be found in museum collections nationwide.
