This bowl by Alice Cling has has flat, sloping shoulders.  The sides are pushed in so that they create a square mouth. There is a design impressed into the clay which is a mountain design. She used a jewelry stamp to create the design. It is an interesting connection of jewelry and clay.  The bowl was traditionally fired to create the fireclouds.  It was covered in pinon-pitch after the firing, a continuation of the traditional Navajo pottery when pitch was used to make the pottery waterproof.  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Alice Cling”.  Alice has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as “Legacy of Generations.”
