Anita Suazo is a daughter of noted potter Belen Tapia.  This is one of her traditional vessels with deeply carved designs.  There is an avanyu deeply carved into the clay and the bowl is stone polished. The background is a cream colored clay.  The bowl is in very good condition and signed on the bottom.  It is from the collection of Richard Spivey, who wrote the books on Maria Martinez. This bowl was given to him and Lynne for their wedding in 1979.
