1) Hopi Ladle by Garnet Pavatea (1915-1981) Flower Girl. 6.5" x 2.75". Garnet Pavatea was known as Flower Girl and she was a Hopi-Tewa from the Tewa Village on First Mesa on the Hopi Reservation, and also lived there. Her dad, Dewakuku, was Hopi and her mother was Tewa. Following tradition, Garnet was of her mother's clan. Garnet had a long and productive career of pottery making and was a favorite of collectors of Hopi pottery. She was an active potter from circa 1940 to circa 1981. She is best known and was fond of making plain red bowls and jars with triangular indentations around the rim as the sole decoration. Often, she made ladles to accompany her bowls. The Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff amassed a major collection of her work. She passed away in 1981. 2) figure head on top of handle of this polished red clay ladle by Jean Sahmie. 9.5" x 3". Born in 1948, Jean Sahme Nampeyo is a Hopi-Tewa potter from the village of Hano at First Mesa on the Hopi Reservation. Her mother was Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo, her father Emerson Namingha. She is the eldest daughter in a family of eight brothers and sisters. Jean has a daughter named Donella and she is now grandmother to two wonderful kids, Kaniela and Keanu. After years of watching and sometimes helping, Jean began seriously working with clay in 1972, working alongside her mother and grandmother (Rachel Namingha Nampeyo), both of whom mentored and influenced her styles, designs and techniques. Jean vividly remembers advice her grandmother gave her "to respect and follow the traditional method for it will sustain your livelihood." Jean has followed that advice closely all her life and in 2014 she was declared an "Arizona Living Treasure." 3) Unsigned ladle, black/red design. 4.75" x 2.25" State:Arizona City:Hopi Date: ID# 49403
