A Hopi-Tewa pot by Tom Polacca Nampeyo (1935-2003). The pot has a globular body with a narrow opening and is decorated with a Kokopelli figure surrounded by corn stalks and other symbolic motifs. It is signed on the underside by Tom Polacca Nampeyo, a renowned Hopi-Tewa potter, son of Fannie Nampeyo, and grandson of Nampeyo of Hano. Tom was one of the first Hopi men to make and design pottery in the 1970s. He's become known for breaking tradition in contrast to his mother and grandmother's revivalist styles introducing sculptural relief and narrative painting into Hopi pottery. This piece reflects a fusion of modern narrative storytelling and traditional Native American pottery.
