A very nice example. According to the King Gallery: "Steve Lucas (b.1955) is a great-great-grandson of Nampeyo of Hano. His grandmother was Rachel Nampeyo, and his great-grandmother was Annie Healing. He primarily learned the art from his aunt, Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo. The pottery is coil-built, stone-polished, traditionally painted, and native-fired. Steve uses traditional designs and often gives his own creative spin to the ancient imagery."
