The abstract avian and eagle-tail designs on this jar are common designs on pots from Hopi, but the exquisite detail of painting and subtle variations of design are both extraordinary. That quality is typical of Karen Abeita’s work.

Purchase History:
Purchased 5-17-26 with a timed bid in an online auction by Annex Auctions, Sacramento, CA. According to Adam Anapolsky of Annex Auctions, the pot was consigned by a “long-time dealer in Northern California.” Adam will provide my contact information to the dealer and see if he is willing to call me to provide additional provenance.
