This large cylinder jar pot was made by famous Hopi potter Sadie Adams. It is 11 1/4\" high and 6\" wide. This pot shows 2 large moth figures. This pot is in all original condition with no restoration. The only thing that I can see with magnification is a very thin hairline crack from the rim extending down about 1/2\". This was probably original with the pot after firing. Also, there is one small ding and wear to the bottom edges from sitting. With age, there is some light scuffing of the paint and normal wear. (See closeup photos.)
It would be safest to pick this pot up in person.
For the Hopi, moths represent a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds and are often seen as guides or messengers.

Sadie Adams (1905-1995) was a Hopi-Tewa potter from the village of Hano at First Mesa. Sadie\'s daughter, Lorna Lomakema, was born in 1930. That was about the same time she began making pottery and she kept making pottery until 1981. Her husband, Wilbur Adams, passed away in 1937 and Sadie raised her daughter and supported her family through the sale of her pottery.Sadie made tiles with her daughter and made traditional yellow ware jars, bowls, cylinders, lamps and tiles on her own. She did well enough with her pottery sales she could afford to put Lorna through nursing school.
