Toni Roller is known for her classic shapes and exquisite stone polished pottery.  A daughter of Margaret Tafoya, Toni has developed her distinctive style yet adhering to the traditional methods and techniques of her mother.  This is a very unusual piece of her pottery.  It is from 1981, and the bowl is carved in four sections with a Tewa Sunface design.  Each of the sun designs has a feather pattern (sun rays) rising over the mesas (eyes) with a lake in front (mouth).  The inside of the bowl is also fully polished!  The bowl also has a lid with a handle. The top of the lid is also carved with a sun design!  It is a fascinating combination of form, design, and technique.  Both the lid and the bowl are signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
