Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Seed Pot with Dragonflies by Fawn Navasie

Fawn Navasie-Garcia created this simple and elegant seed pot. The top of the pot shows dragonflies surrounding the center and the base of the pot has two fireflies and a small dragonfly. Fawn is the niece of Frog Woman, daughter of the late Eunice "Fawn" Navasie, and sister to Dawn Navasie and Dolly Joe. James Garcia Nampeyo is her husband. Fawn is an accomplished potter and has shown at several major venues throughout the Southwest. She has been featured at shows in Santa Fe, NM, the Heard Museum in Arizona, and elsewhere. She is included in Gregory Schaaf's "Hopi-Tewa Potters," Rick Dillingham's "Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery," and "Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni" by Hayes and Blom. She signs her pieces with her hallmark "Fawn" and hoof print.
