Hopi Tewa Pottery Polychrome Olla by Alta Yesslith
This Hopi Pottery by Alta Yesslith is the creation of a real pro. Smooth lines and a free flowing patterns make a delightful homage to life in the southwest. Traditionally hand coiled and pinched smooth, it was free-hand painted with traditional Hopi geometric designs that represent rain, sky, feathers and the geologic formations that epitomize the southwest landscape known as Mesas. This wide lip olla is 5-1/4" tall and about 5-1/4" wide. Signed by the Hopi artist Alta Yesslith. This Hopi Pottery is an awesome work of cultural art that will bring the energy of the southwest to any space!
Alta Yesslith, originally from Keams Canyon, Arizona, is the daughter in law of famed Frog Woman potter, Joy Navasie. She started making pottery years ago and is still active today. Her husband, Dan Tsinnijinnie Yesslith, often works with Alta on the pottery.
