This pot exemplifies traditional Hopi design with tall, thin features rising from the vessel's base to culminate with inward curving semicircular forms. Horizontal decorative lines appear just below the rim. The artist worked this magic using typical black pigment for most of the design with two sections in white. The design rests on very nice orange slip. A beautiful piece of Hopi pottery that you ought to add to your collection. Bid now!
