Medium Hopi pot by Antoinette-Silas- Honie

Antoinette Honie was known as one of the Silas family of Hopi potters. She has won many awards and done many shows over time. She has been featured in many publications over time. Now she is sadly the only one of her family still practicing her art. This pot is about 7 inches across and about 6 inches high. It features Sikyatki designs of the Hopi people, mostly parrot tail feathers, prayer feathers, scrolls, parrot beaks, rain clouds and kiva steps. Antoinette was taught the art of pottery by her mother, the late Roberta Silas. She still makes her pottery the traditional way. The clay is dug and prepared over weeks, hand coiled, painted with a yucca thread and then dung fired. Hopi pottery continues to be some of the most Tradional and collectible pottery in the world. Other tribes have moved away from tradition and are etching pottery and using slip casting and greenware but not the Hopi. All painting on this pot are natural dyes prepared by Antoinette.
