Sikyatki Bowl
1400-1625
Hopi Pueblo
Arts of the Americas
Clay sources in some parts of Arizona allowed potters to add red, yellow, and cream colors to their design palettes. Motifs became less geometric and linear, and more representative of regional animals and plants. Potters also depicted scenes, such as the hunter and antelope on this Sikyatki bowl, that provide clues about daily and spiritual life.
