Garrett Maho is known for his traditional and innovative Hopi-Tewa pottery.  This bowl has sloping sides and it is fully polished on the inside and outside. The exterior has four birds painted near the rim. Below them are tightly painted checkerboard patterns.  Note how the checkerboard designs match the shape of the bowl!  The piece was traditionally fired and there and there are blushes on the surface.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Garrett Maho”.  Garrett has won numerous awards including the “Helen Naha” Award at Santa Fe Indian Market.
