- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Hopi-Tewa (Jeddito Revival), ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A spirited revival of ancestral artistry, this Hopi-Tewa yellowware bowl pays homage to the sacred traditions of the ancient Pueblo potters of Jeddito. Hand-coiled and pit-fired in the soft golden hues distinctive to Matsaki pottery, the vessel is delicately thin-walled and circular in form, with gently rising sides and a subtly flattened base. The interior features a striking painted figure in dark brown slip, likely rendered with a yucca brush. At its center is a circular anthropomorphic face, flanked by large, horn-like extensions curving upward in symmetrical arcs. Below, a fan of radiating, wedge-shaped feathers extends outward in rhythmic succession, each ending in a squared tip. The composition may represent a stylized thunderbird - a supernatural entity associated with rain and celestial forces - or perhaps a ceremonial headdress, merging human and avian traits in visual metaphor. Size: 7.8" L x 7.3" W x 3.5" H (19.8 cm x 18.5 cm x 8.9 cm)
The vessel's exterior bears a band of geometric motifs enclosed within rectangular panels, composed of repeated stepped triangles adorned with short parallel lines. These may signify clouds, mountains, or directional symbolism drawn from the broader visual lexicon of Hopi-Tewa pottery.
Created during the Jeddito Revival movement - an early to mid 20th century effort by Hopi-Tewa artists to reconnect with pre-contact pottery forms - this bowl reflects the influence of Nampeyo of Hano and her descendants, who studied ancestral sherds and reimagined ancient iconography. The use of finely crushed clay, vegetal pigments, and freehand design reflects a deep reverence for tradition while allowing for personal artistic interpretation. Whether ceremonial or decorative, this bowl captures the visual power and spiritual resonance of its cultural lineage - a desert echo of sky, spirit, and earth-bound memory.
