Hopi Pot

Artist: Antoinette Silas  This pot was pruchased as a memorial to Richard A. Cooklock, director of the library from 1954-1986, and a strong proponent of southwestern Native American art and culture.

Using traditional techniques she learned from her mother, Roberta, Antoinette Silas, of the Kachina and Parrot Clan, incorporates designs she inherited from her mother and designs she developed herself. Everything is done with traditional native products and is very labor-intensive.
