This bowl by Effie Garcia combines her deep carving with etched designs by her husband, Orville.  The bowl has a deeply carved heartline bear as the main design.  Around the remainder of the piece, there are etched bear paws as the design.  The bear is a symbol of strength and good luck as are the bear’s paws.  The high polish and angle from the shoulder make this a distinctive bowl. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Effie Orville Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
