Joy Navasie was known for her white slipped pottery and classic use of design elements. She learned to make pottery from her mother, Paqua, who also used the white clay and signed with a frog as a hallmark.  The white kaolin clay is a slip that is applied to the surface of the bowl, and then black (bee-weed) and red clay slips are used for painting.  This is a very wide open bowl.  The inside is painted with birds over the horizon.  The bird tails are in the center, and the bird head is on one side and the tail on the other.  The outer edge has a rain, mountain and feather design.  The bowl was traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom with her frog hallmark.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is impressive in size and design!
