Hopi Parrot Bowl
Tribe: Hopi
Item #POT00579
Hopi Parrot Bowl by Kyle Kootswatewa, hand-coiled and traditionally outdoor fired. The interior is hand painted with a parrot surrounded by dragonflies and stars, while the exterior features a continuous band of geometric Hopi designs representing the sun, rain, rain clouds, and stars. The warm clay body, fine painted linework, and natural firing variation give the bowl a strong traditional character. In Hopi symbolism, parrots are associated with the south, summertime, fertility, and healing, while the surrounding dragonflies and rain motifs connect the piece to water, renewal, and the life-giving importance of rain.
