Karen Abeita is known for her traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  This bowl is coil-built and painted with bee-weed (black) and a red clay slip and then traditionally fired.  The piece has a round shape.  There are two small old-style hummingbirds on the bowl.  Next to them are the colorful hummingbird tails.  The bowl was traditionally fired to create the blushes.  It is signed on the bottom in bee-weed, “Karen Abeita”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
