Hopi Seed Pot

Hand-coiled Hopi pottery seed pot by Delmar Polacca, featuring a carved and painted Hopi figure holding a ceremonial pipe. The figure is rendered in low relief with incised detailing and black slip outlining, set against a textured red band that contrasts with the smooth natural clay surface. Polacca’s work is known for these sculptural, narrative figures that wrap around the form, blending traditional Hopi pottery techniques with a contemporary, dimensional approach. Traditionally fired, with a small opening at the base typical of seed pot construction, and signed on the underside.
