Well what a cool piece. This is most likely an example of Hopi Overlay work. I think maybe in the Koinva family or maybe Havalo. The marks are called pictomarks(the Hopi used pictomarks much more than other tribes to sign work) and because they are pictures used as id marks and normally have familial or more personal meanings about who the artist is personally/spirtually. There are a lot to sort through but this stuff should get you started at least a little. I couldnt find what i felt to be an exact match but heres what I think… the pictures could be of a ceremonial pipe, a rattle, or maybe a symbol of legs/feet which is why there are two maybe???

I found a ceremonial pipe hallmark in Hougart’s book for a Joe Coochyumptewa. I did a google search and didn’t find anything but it might be worth a deeper dive.

Thanks Jason, they do look like pipes! I checked that name and there are several pieces by him listed. The signature on them are of leaves though. Here is one.
