How
to make a Purchase
  Nona
Naha
is of Hopi-Tewa heritage and of the Corn Clan. She has been active
potting since 1988. Nona is the daughter of Sylvan and Edith Nash,
and wife of Terry Naha. She learned the art of pottery making
from Feather Woman - Helen Naha, and Feather Woman's daughters
- Sylvia and Rainy Naha. Our last visit with her was great, lots
of fun, and we brought back some treasures from this artist with
ever increasing popularity that is well deserved. Her work has
increased in value very well over the last four years and her
work is
considered a prudent investment as well as a delight to see and
hold.
The
seed pot at left, top, is a great circle of life lizard
design with corn stalk in almost an egg shape- exquisite detail
and measuring 6.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. It has very thin
walls. Your price $640 ~ Item
#H138
The seed pot at right measures 2.25 inches tall by 4 inches
wide and also features an eagle tail design as it is more often
presented by this incredibly  talented
artist. Your price $395 ~ Item #H200
At
left is an absolutely gorgeous moth pot by Nona that is a perfect
example of how articulate and demanding she is in the quality
of her work....so precise, clean, inspired and meant for a quality
collection. It measures 4.5 inches tall by 5.5 inches wide. Your
price $750 ~ Item #H174. Click

"Nona
Naha produces some of the thinnest pottery at Hopi. She has stated
that she loves the feeling of relief and satisfaction when the
pot is completed. "The process for me is long, since I take
 time
to do my best" says Nona. "I also appreciate the reaction
of the buyers who acknowledge art and the work behind it."
- from "Hopi-Tewa Pottery:500 Artist Biographies"
(p. 79) by Gregory Schaaf.
At
right is a beautiful, unique creation by Nona using sherd designs
to create lizards and simple groupings. Light as a feather and
measuring 7.25 inches tall by 4 inches wide and recently of our
own collection. Exquisite detail as in all her work. Your
price $725 ~ Item #H175. Click

Nona
has taken many awards at shows throughout the Southwest, including
1st, 2nd and 3rd place overall at the Hopi Show in Flagstaff,
Arizona at the Museum of Northern Arizona. She has become very
well known for this style of beautiful seed pot featuring turtles,
lizards, butterflies and traditional patterns usually measuring
four or five inches in diameter and a few inches in depth.
