This is a creative bowl by Rachel Sahmie.  She was a daughter of noted potter Priscilla Nampeyo and a descendant of Nampeyo of Hano.  She is a sister of noted potters Jean Sahmie, and Bonnie Sahmie.  This is an open bowl with a handle. The interior of the bowl is painted with a katsina face.  There are clouds below the face.  The exterior edge has a bird wing pattern.  The bowl is painted with bee-weed (black) and red clay.  It was traditionally fired to create blushes on the surface.  The piece is signed on the bottom with her name “Nampeyo Koo Loo”.  “Koo Loo” means, “corn”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
