Judy and Lincoln Tafoya (1954-2005) worked together for twenty years making pottery.  Lincoln learned to make pottery from his sister-in-law Sharon Naranjo Garcia.  He was a son of Dan Tafoya and Billie Rose Lee.  Judy is a daughter of Cecilia Naranjo and learned to make pottery from her grandmother Christina Naranjo.  Judy began making pottery in 1982 and married Lincoln in 1984. This bowl is entitled, “Winged Blessing #8”.  It is deeply carved with butterflies, hummingbirds, and flowers.  The carving is deep which accentuates the designs.  Each carved section is also etched light designs to create an added dimension to the piece.  The bowl is a dark brownish-black coloration.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Judy and Lincoln Tafoya”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
