Joy Navasie (Native American, Hopi-Tewa, 1919 to 2012); Marianne Navasie (Native American, Hopi-Tewa, 1951-2007) ca. mid-20th to 21st century CE. A collection of three "Frog Woman" signed pottery vessels, 2 by Joy Navasie, and 1 by her daughter Marianne Navasie. The name Frog Woman has been passed down from mother to daughter starting with potter Paqua Naha (1890-1955). Joy Navasie (1919-2012) and Marianne Navasie (1951-2007) signed their pottery with frog emblems, but Marianne also used a tadpole and sometimes an "M" to distinguish her work. The smallest pot in this group is by Marianne and has the tadpole, the wedding vase and larger pot are by Joy Navasie, the toes on her frogs were slightly different than Paqua Naha's. Size of wedding vase: 6" L x 4" W x 9" H (15.2 cm x 10.2 cm x 22.9 cm)
