Vessel c. 20th century

This small, hand-crafted ceramic vessel, "Vessel," is an example of traditional Hopi pottery, dating back to the 20th century. The vessel features a simple, rounded form, with an elegant design composed of black and red lines and geometric shapes on a polished terracotta surface. The style, typical of Hopi pottery, utilizes bold, graphic elements reflecting their deeply rooted cultural traditions and beliefs. The piece, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the skill and artistry of the Hopi people.
