Tewa seed pot with contrasting abstract red, black, and yellow ware eagle-feather design, by Rachel Sahmie. This is an extraordinary pot with great visual impact, using a traditional Nampeyo design given a wholly new expression. The design fits the pot beautifully. Like 1999-10 by her sister Jean, this pot manages to be unconventional, traditional, and gorgeous at the same time.
Purchase History:
Purchased on 6/27/00 on eBay from Steve Goodrich. I later bought two other pots from Steve (2003-03 and 2003-04).
