Thomas Tenorio is from the Aguilar family of Kewa Pueblo. Amazingly, he taught himself to make pottery! This large open bowl is coil-built and painted with bee-weed and a red clay slip. The bowl has a large Pueblo bird painted in the center. The bird is surrounded by plant designs. There are clouds along the inside rim of the piece. The outside has large spinach leaf patterns. It is signed on the bottom “Thomas Tenorio”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
