Hopi Tableta c. 1940

Painted in bold mineral pigments of turquoise, red, yellow, and black, the composition is animated by strong geometric symmetry and finely detailed linework. Peacock feathers accent the eyes, adding dimensionality and ceremonial presence, while additional feathers extend from the perimeter, enhancing the sense of motion and spiritual energy.
