Hopi Vase / Cylinder

Hopi

Clay | Item 2174

This is a beautiful Hopi vase with a bird symbol wrapping around the form. The red feathers can be seen as can the eye. The piece has thicker than usual walls, so it feels very firm and solid. The patina has a wonderful, honey colored hye to it and somewhat crackled in appearance. There is overall very light wear to the surface and to the rim.

Dimensions 6 1/2" tall, 3 1/3" diameter
Condition Very good with some surface wear
Provenance Private Collection, Michigan
