Gonzales, Rose – Bowl with Bird Lid

5"w x 5"h (w/ lid)

$ 1,200.00

This is a unique lidded bowl by Rose Gonzales.  She is often considered the first at San Ildefonso Pueblo to make carved pottery.  The bowl is round and fully polished.  The lid is in the shape of a bird and it is also fully polished.  Note however, that the lid is very sculptural in appearance with an indented and rounded back.  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
