This is an unusual but creative bowl by Rose Chino Garcia. She was a daughter of noted potter Marie Z. Chino. This piece has a round body and two openings. The bowl has a medallion on each side, each with a Heartline deer. They are painted in her classic Acoma style. The heartline deer are symbolic in Acoma pottery. It was a design borrowed from Zuni pottery around 1910 and the heartline is said to represent life itself. Separating them are fineline-rain designs and interlocking butterflies. It is a creative and fully designed bowl. The piece is painted with bee-weed (black) and the heartlines are a red clay slip. The bowl was traditionally fired. It is signed on the bottom, “Rose Chino”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
