Nahee, Lucy

Lucy Nahee was a Hopi potter from First Mesa. She lived from 1902 to 1981. She seems to have specialized in making different sizes of bowls. She made a lot of red bowls with impressed corrugation patterns around their bodies. Her polychrome bowls she usually decorated with patterns and designs similar to those on potsherds found around the ancient villages of Awatovi and Sikyatki. Most of her pottery is unsigned as she only began to sign her pieces in the mid-to-late 1960s. One of her bowls is on display in the National Museum of the American Indian.
