Christina Naranjo was a daughter of SaraFina Tafoya and a sister of Margaret Tafoya and Camilio Tafoya.  She was known for her classic style carved Santa Clara pottery.  This is one of her small but classic carved pieces of pottery.  The bowl is round and fully carved. There are cloud, lightning, and rain patterns carved into the clay.  The bowl is fully polished and fired a deep black coloration. The bowl is signed on the bottom, “Christina Naranjo”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Christina has a wonderful legacy in the work of her daughters Mary Cain and Teresita Naranjo, as well as her great-granddaughters Tammy Garcia and Autumn Borts.
