Sikyátki style (<Hopi pottery styles>, Hopi (culture or style), ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Describes type of pottery created by Hopi potters from the late 14th century up to the early 1600s. Production is associated with Hopi pueblos formed after 14th century migrations from scattered villages across northern Arizona and New Mexico to consolidated towns. Distinguished by the clay's golden yellow lustre after firing with large amounts of coal. Frequently decorated with black and red pigmented designs featuring birds, dragonflies, feathers, and abstract, curvilinear motifs. Production particularly associated with Hopi Mesa communities in Arizona, namely Sikyátki which gives the pottery its name. Often created for export to other Native communities, with sherds being found as far as Kansas. Decline in production occurs in tandem with Spanish colonization in the 17th century and with the abandonment of Sikyátki and Awatovi towns. |
