A Nampeyo Showcase view detail comment email this

Exhibit of work attributed to "the renowned Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo (1860?-1942). Some of the attributions are unassailably correct, while others are more uncertain. Since Nampeyo never signed her pieces herself, the task of positively identifying her works is daunting." Features a gallery of pottery vessels, timeline, interview with Nampeyo's granddaughter, essay on Sikyatki pottery, bibliography, activities, and links. From the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona.
