Sikyatki Revival style en

Defines type of pottery popularized by Nampeyo (ca. 1860-1942) and other female Hopi-Tewa and Hopi potters in the late 19th century to early 20th century. Utilizes the same techniques and visual program as historical Sikyatki pottery from the 14th to 16th centuries: a golden-hued patina due to high temperature firing and black and red curvilinear designs often featuring birds and dragonflies. Nampeyo is often credited as being one of the first to revamp this style, but other Hopi-Tewa and Hopi women were likely involved as well. Potters used the Sikyatki visual framework as a base for new works that were often traded and sold to Native and non-Native audiences in the 20th century.
