Candelaria Suazo is a daughter of potters Joe and Santanita Suazo.  Her sisters include Martha Suazo (the wife of Art Cody Haungooah), Margie Naranjo, Mae Tapia, and Shirley Duran.  She learned to make pottery from her mother.  This miniature bowl is coil-built and fully polished.  It is etched with a Mimbres fish on one side. The fish is surrounded by feather and water designs.  The fish is “two-toned” to make the piece black and sienna in coloration.  Note the high polish and delicate etching on this piece.  It is signed on the bottom, “Candelaria Suazo”.
