Hopi polychrome canteen attributed to Nampeyo

Offered by: Marcy Burns American Indian Arts LLC

Description
This is a wonderful Hopi canteen. The quality and form of the pot as well as of that of the painted design clearly indicates that the canteen was likely made by Nampeyo, who is considered the Matriarch of contemporary Hopi pottery. The design is known as “Sikyaki Revival” and is known to have been used by Nampeyo.

This Nampeyo canteen is very fresh to the market. It came out of a private collection that we recently purchased.

[The rawhide strap(s) were removed and are not on the canteen anymore. They were likely not original to the canteen].

$3200.
