$4500.00 

Magnificent traditional Hopi jar won the Red Ribbon for Hopi pottery at Santa Fe Indian Market for Gloria Kahe.

This large flat shouldered jar is 12 3/4" diameter by 6 1/2" tall, quite a difficult form to construct.

Beautifully polychrome painted with Sikyatki style birds and butterflies, golden blushing from the pit firing and elegant shape make this a winner.

Gloria learned her pottery making skills from her mother-in-law, Marcella Kahe.

Buyer pays $30.00 for packing, shipping and insurance.

$250.00 

Sweet little pottery effigy figure with two faces, Maricopa Indian from Arizona. Deep red slip is stone burnished then painted with mesquite sap, wood fired outdoors, just as they have for centuries.

The pottery figure stands 3 3/4" tall and is 2 1/2" across the handle. Wearing abalone shell earrings, we can tell by the facial tatoos that one face is female and the other is male.

Although unsigned, my best guess is this is a Mabel Sunn piece from 1950-1970. Excellent condition.

Buyer pays $12.00 for shipping and insurance.
