Previously known as \"Little Fawn\" (or Fawn Navasie), she adopted the name \"Fawn\" after her mother's passing in 1991. This jar exemplifies her early work in white- or cream-slipped polychrome pottery, a style rooted in prehistoric Hopi traditions from the Sikyatki site (circa 1375–1625 CE). Such pieces are hand-coiled from local clays, polished to a high sheen, and fired in outdoor pits for an earthy, organic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFawn began apprenticing with her mother in the 1970s and started independent work around 1979. She specializes in the challenging white\/cream slip technique, which requires precise polishing to achieve a luminous surface before applying mineral-based paints in red, black, and orange hues. Her pieces often draw from ancestral motifs like birds, feathers, and geometric patterns, blending cultural reverence with contemporary elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46571626692773,"sku":"5224-1914","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5224-1914_2.jpg?v=1764795879"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/collections\/5224-1914_2_126eb411-7b5f-4656-8668-a90f4199f210.jpg?v=1792709496","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/collections\/fawn-navasie-garcia.oembed","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
