Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Seed Pot with Turtle

Description

Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Seed Pot with Turtle by Nona Naha (1958-2021)

Nona Naha created this simple and elegant seed pot. The top of this pot shows a highly detailed turtle. Many Native Americans believe that the earth is the back of a turtle. The turtle represents longevity and water, an essential and scarce resource in the southwestern desert. Nona was a highly regarded Hopi potter and her work is sought after. We acquired this seed pot through a private collector.
