The work of over seventy Native artists who create miniature silver
seed pots is presented in this publication featuring over 240
examples from the Norman L Sandfield Collection at the Heard
Museum. As an art form, these miniatures draw on the ancient
tradition of ceramic containers that protected the seeds of
agricultural plants on which peoples lives depended. Following in
the more recent tradition of miniaturisation, these silver vessels
represent the work of some of the finest silversmiths working
today, including White Buffalo (Mike Perez), Ric Charlie, Bernard
Dawahoya, Anthony Lovato, and Darrell Jumbo. Over seventy silver
pots are the creation of award-winning Navajo silversmith Norbert
Peshlakai. Curator Tricia Loscher interviewed the artists,
discussing their approaches to this new art form and the
inspiration for their designs. In a foreword by noted Southwestern
scholar Martha Struever, she describes her involvement with the art
form and her introduction of collector Norman L. Sandfield to the
beauty in silver miniatures.
