Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Pot with Turtles

Description

Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Pot with Turtles by Terran Naha (Nona Naha's son)

Terran Naha created this simple and elegant seed pot which has four turtles, one for each cardinal direction. Turtle represents longevity, tenacity, self-reliance; he assures rainfall; he is the oldest symbol of Mother Earth and carries our prayers to her. Some Native people believe we are living on the back of a turtle. Terran is creating this pottery in the style of his mother to keep alive the beautiful work for which she was known. Nona was a highly regarded Hopi potter and we are sure Terran will have many collectors. We are proud to have Terran's work in our shop.
