Mid-19th Century Cherokee Pipe Tomahawk

Lot # 18 (Sale Order: 18 of 775)

The head measures 8 inches long by 2.75 inches wide across the bottom of the blade. Total length of the tomahawk is 21 inches.

Original Signed Reyecita San Ildefonso Red Ware

Lot # 24 (Sale Order: 24 of 775)      

Offered in this lot is an Original Signed Reyecita San Ildefonso Red Ware Turquoise Ceramic Miniature Pot, circa Mid-Century Modern, signed on bottom Reyecita San Idefonso. Reyecita Trujillo (1900 - 1944) also known as, Reycita Trujillo, was one of the eight women who restarted the making of San Juan pottery at San Juan Pueblo (Ohkay Owingeh) in the 1930s. While Reyecita would coil, shape, polish and carve her pots, she often had her husband, Juan Hilario Trujillo, do the incising / sgraffito that is characteristic of San Juan pottery. San Juan Pueblo has a rich pottery tradition, originally creating lovely vessels for functional use. Early historic San Juan pottery includes massive water jars and dough bowls, characterized by beautiful curves and elegant shapes. These pottery making traditions had largely ended by the 1900s, however. In the 1930s, Regina Cata (a Spaniard who married into the tribe) organized a group to revitalize pottery production. The women studied ancient pottery from the area, choosing shards from the 1450s-1500s as a basis for their pottery revival. By 1940, almost 60 potters were making San Juan pottery. Note that “San Juan” is the name given to the Pueblo by the Spaniards. Today, the people prefer their traditional name of Ohkay Owingeh, which means “Place of the Strong People.” As one of the "Original Eight", Reyecita's pottery pieces are extremely rare, her years as an artist during the San Juan Revival were about a decade long. This miniature San Ildefonso ceramic pot is in amazingly good condition, the colour tone is strong and consistent, with the Sgraffito stunning. The turquoise "eye" appears to be a Sleeping Beauty turquoise. No obvious marring noted. Measures 2.25" x 2.5"

Navajo Artist Faye B. Tso Ceramic White Vase

Lot # 25 (Sale Order: 25 of 775)      

For your consideration is this Original Signed Navajo Artist Faye B. Tso Ceramic White Vase, signature on the bottom Faye B Tso. Tso, also known as Faye Bilagody (1933 - 2014), was one of the first Navajo potters to using unconventional imagery in her pottery. Traditional Navajo pottery has very little decoration, but Tso applied images of corn maidens, warriors, and dancers onto the surface of the clay. She was a practicing Navajo herbalist, and her husband and a son are both medicine men. The family often use Tso’s pottery in their ceremonies, because "fire, cloud, and earth are all part of the Navajo way". Her work is hard to find for the general public as most of it is in museums, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 1990, the Arizona Indian Living Treasures Association designated Tso as a living treasure. The clay selected can be from one source or from several sources blended together. The clay is coiled, shaped, and placed in an outdoor pit directly upon fuels such as cedar wood, juniper wood or sheep dung. After firing, and before the pot has cooled, melted piñon pitch is applied as a glaze, both inside and out. Tso's use of a corn cob decorates to exterior of the vase and is detailed.This ceramic white vase is in a very nice condition, without the melted piñon pitch which is usually applied as a glaze, both inside and out. No obvious marring was noted. Vase measures 4.5"W x 7.25"H
