Barbara Gonzales is a great-great-granddaughter of Maria Martinez.  She is known for her innovative pottery, which combines etched designs along with inset stones.  This is a classic round bowl, much in the form-style of Maria.  The bowl is fully polished.  It is etched with two spiders and a spider web.  One spider has coral insets and one turquoise.  Barbara says she used the spider as a symbol of good luck and the turquoise or coral represents male or female.  The rim of the bowl has been two-toned sienna.  The bowl is signed in the clay, “Than-Moo-Whe”, which is her name in Tewa.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
