Helen Naha (1922-1993) Feather Woman Hopi Pueblo Spider clan Ladle. 6.5" long x<br>4 1/16" wide with no damage or detectable wear. There are some numbers engraved<br>on the base and I'm not sure of their significance. They look like museum<br>collection inventory numbers but could be polished out if for some reason became<br>a distraction.<br><br>Helen Naha (1922-1993) Feather Woman was a member of the Spider Clan at Hopi<br>Pueblo Arizona. She was the daughter-in-law of Paqua Naha (the first Frog<br>Woman). She was married to Paqua’s son, Archie. At first, she followed the style<br>of her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law, Joy Navasie. She eventually<br>developed her own distinctive style, using black and red paint on a white slip<br>to create bold designs. Often, she would take the effort and time to polish the<br>inside of a bowl as well as the outside. Both of her daughters, Sylvia and<br>Rainy, as well as her granddaughter, Tyra Naha, have followed in her footsteps.<br>tw250
