Kathy “Wan Povi” Sanchez is a great-great granddaughter of Maria Martinez and a sister of Barbara Gonzales.  This bowl is fully polished and etched with a bear, avanyu and eagle feather pattern.  The section with the feathers and the bear are highlighted in sienna. The areas with the avanyu is the highly polished black.  Note the very delicate lines used in the etched imagery!  There is also a bear paw etched on the side of the bowl.  The bowl is signed, “Wan Povi” on the bottom.  While Kathy makes little pottery today, the technical expertise of her shape, polish and design are certainly evident.  The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
