Hopi-Tewa, First Mesa, Southwest Native American
1920s
Painted pottery
Height 8 in. (20.3 cm)
Provenance: Southern California museum; Santa Barbara trade.
This signed Hopi-Tewa pot dates to the 1920s and is attributed to Sadie Adams, who lived in the Tewa village at First Mesa. Adams was associated with the Parrot and Kachina Clans, and her Hopi name, Flower Girl, is reflected in her signature. The 8 in. height gives the vessel a clear vertical presence while keeping the focus on its painted surface and signed authorship.
Sadie Adams worked within a Hopi-Tewa pottery tradition shaped by family, clan, and village relationships. This example should be presented through its date, signature, maker, and museum provenance without relying on exaggerated language. The Southern California museum and Santa Barbara trade history add useful documentation for collectors of early 20th-century Hopi-Tewa pottery.
