This is an early piece by Gary Polacca Nampeyo.  He is known for his deeply carved pottery.  His early pottery was polished red and then fully incised with designs.  This piece was originally acquired in 1973.  The top half is fully etched with a lizard, a Hano katsina, a butterfly, a Sikyatki bird, and various other geometric patterns. The bottom of the bowl has a kiva ladder and swirling Hopi birds.  Note as well the background area is very deeply etched and creates its own precise desigsn.  Gary Polacca is a son of Thomas Polacca,  a grandson of Fannie Nampeyo and great-grandson of Nampeyo of Hano. His sisters Carla Claw Nampeyo and Elvira Nampeyo are both potters.  This bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Gary Polacca Nampeyo”.   It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
