“The Potter”

The Potter is a symbol of honor. For it is the potters who have sustained songs, ceremonies and the Hopi traditions within the style of pottery and the beautiful signature Hopi designs that are still created today. Kim Obrzut started her career in pottery creating Museum quality Hopi Maidens in Water Based and traditional clays.
The Potter is carrying a Seed Pot. The Seed Pot resides in the home and is the property of the women of the household. In the fall when the corn is gathered six ears are shaved and the kernels are placed in this seed pot for the next years crop.
