Migration Pot

SOLD

 dimensions:

7 1/4" diameter at rim x 5" high

Nice example of a Hopi polychrome migration pot.  Black and red over cream slip, tinted golden in some areas by subtle fire clouding.

The migration pattern is the hallmark of the Nampeyo family. Clinton created this pot entirely by hand using traditional stone ploishing and pit firing techniques, and organic paints processed from natural materials. 

Excellent Condition. No chips or cracks.

Clinton Polacca Nampeyo is a member of the Kachina Clan, great grandson of Hopi matriarch Nampeyo, and grandson of potter Fannie Polacca Nampeyo. His parents are Harold and Alice Polacca.  He lives in the First Mesa Village of Polacca where he has been making pottery since 1975.
