Nampeyo Vessel ASM#  E-719

Low polychrome jar - top view

Low polychrome jar, collected 1934.

This "flying saucer" shaped bowl bears Nampeyo's name, painted on before it was fired. A gift of Miss Kathleen Carden in 1941, it was collected in 1934. Barbara Kramer points to a less "Nampeyo" design style and the large painted red areas in suggesting that this vessel was possibly painted by clan niece Lena Charlie of Hano. 

21.5 cm diameter (ASM #E-719)
