This is a classic larger bowl by Maria Martinez. It was made by Maria Martinez and painted by her daughter-in-law Santana Martinez (the wife of Adam Martinez, Maria’s son). It is very highly polished and has a glassy surface. The design is a water serpent or avanyu. It encircles the bowl. Santana had a distinctive style of avanyu that she painted on her pottery. The bowl was fired to a deep black coloration. It is signed on the bottom, “Maria + Santana”. The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
