MIS04 pottery

One of a Kind piece - Hopi Handcraft

Artist: Harrison Jim Sr

This pottery is made thanks to the ancestral coil process: multiple coils of different length are overlaid to create the entire piece, which is then smoothen and fired in an hand-crafted single use oven. 

What makes this pottery exceptionnal is the meticulous carving work made by Harrison Jim Sr, in which we can notably see a beautifuly detailed Eagle Dancer.

The Eagle Dance is a famous ceremonial during which the Eagle Dancer performs a choregraphy that represents the movements of the eagle flying and hunting. The eagle is a very important wild animal in Native culture. It is believed to have superpowers, such as controlling the rain and communicating with the gods.
