This is classic design bowl by Debbie Clashin. She is a cousin of noted potter Mark Tahbo and a descendant of Grace Chapella. Debbie has quickly become well known for her large-sized traditional Hopi-Tewa pottery. The shape of this bowl has a sloping shoulder. The piece is painted with two moths, one on each side. It was a design which was originated by Grace Chapella. Next to each moth is a three-pointed section which represents the three Hopi mesas. The rest of the design are the stars in the sky at night. The jar is painted with bee-weed and natural clay slips. It was traditionally fired with blushes across the surface of the jar along with a few darker areas from the smoke. It is signed on the bottom with her name and a pipe for his “Tobacco Clan”.
