This is a “reclining otter” bowl by Margaret and Luther Gutierrez.  The piece is coil-built and then the head was added. The bowl is in the appearance of an otter on its back.  The legs have a thunderbird, frog, avanyu, and roadrunner.  The claws are painted on the feet and the back has painted “hair”.  Of course, the face is whimsical in the style of their painting.  All the various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “Margaret/Luther”.
