Cream, buff, orange or red pottery; Katsinas.

The Hopi are equally renowned for their sturdy golden pottery and their intricate Kachina carvings. Their painted pottery designs derive from ancient shards and pottery excavated at the ruined village of Sikyatki and interpreted by Nampeyo in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Her pottery was promoted by Thomas Keam and his trading post, and created a revival among Hopi potters. Cream, buff, yellow, orange and even white pottery is made at Hopi, depending on the iron content of the clay and the heat of the fire. All can have beautiful blush areas and fire clouds from traditional firing. Hopi Kachina carvings are the gold standard for the genre and are the most sought after of all contemporary Kachina carvings.
