Signed: "Boyhood to Manhood NAMPEYO 80" 

Thomas Polacca Nampeyo (1935–2003) was a Hopi-Tewa potter from First Mesa on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. He is recognized as one of the first Hopi men to actively produce pottery as a fine art and for pioneering deep-carved, mural-like designs that depicted Hopi cultural and ceremonial themes. 
He was the son of Fannie Polacca Nampeyo (1900–1987), a highly regarded potter, and Vinton Polacca.
He was the grandson of the legendary potter Nampeyo of Hano (ca. 1859–1942), who led the Sikyátki Revival of Hopi pottery in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
