Vintage Hopi Rainbirds Pottery Jar
This Vintage Hopi Rainbirds Pottery Jar was handmade by Bessie Namoki. Traditionally made, it was hand built in coils and then shaped by hand. Bessie used bee-weed to free-hand paint the traditional imagery. The bird is a directional guardian and most often associated with a plea for rain. It was fired in an open pit to finish. About 5" to 5-1/4" tall and 4-3/4" wide at the top, and in good, used condition with some wear. It is signed and circa 1960's. This Vintage Hopi Rainbirds Pottery Jar is a piece of history, that can be cherished for generations to come!
Bessie (1922-2010) of Polacca, AZ was active from the 1960's to late 20th century. She is referenced in Schaaf's, "Hopi-Tewa Pottery, 500 Artist Biographies".
