Item# 0104P Iris Youvella Nampeyo, Hopi.: The Nampeyo family includes a long and illustrious roster of exceptional potters, including Iris Youvella who learned the art at her mother's knee (Fannie Nampeyo). The Nampeyo's belong to the Corn Clan and through various family interactions Iris came to create the ear of corn symbol with exceptional beauty. This piece exhibits mauve clay which is stone polished to create a unique color that makes the pot very collectable. From the small oval opening at the top four kiva steps are carved down the pot leaving a one-half inch opening carved away from the steps and straight back up to the top. To the left is Iris' traditional ear of corn in the husk with kernels exposed in matte or bisque finish.
