Clay Sculpture of Hopi Maiden by award winning Hopi artist Kim Seyesnem Obrzut:
$1040.00

From our personal collection of Native American art and collectibles, this beautiful clay sculpture is signed and is dated 1990. I do not know when or if Kim stopped working with clay, but I believe it has been many years. All of her work that I have seen in the past 15 years of so are bronze.

Kim Seyesnem Obrzut is an award winning American Indian artist. Her grandfather, a Hopi Kachina doll carver, was instrumental in preparing Kim for her journey into the artist world.

Kim started her art career as a child finding rocks in the washes in Arizona and painting figures, which her family still keeps today. She started sculpting her Hopi maidens over twenty years ago and still has yet to scratch the surface of her cultural history. \'\'The Hopi Tribe of Northern Arizona, is thousands of years old. I have a lifetime to fully explain my people and their history. I know many of my collectors now understand more about the women and their powerful place in Hopi history.\'\'

She originally worked in the traditional scrape-and-smooth method, which Hopi potters have used for thousands of years. Kim earned her degree from Northern Arizona University in Fine Arts, sculpture and bronze casting.

This beautiful piece measures approximately 8 inches tall by approximately 4 1/2 inches wide at it’s widest point. There is some discoloration on the bottom of the piece from the use of earthquake wax. See photograph - We live in southern California and use earthquake wax on all of our art.
