This carved bowl was made and carved by Margaret Tafoya. The bowl is featured in the book, “Born of Fire”, on p. 55.  It is from the 1930’s and it has a sloping edge the piece and a very deeply carved avanyu. The avanyu is very angular in style, which is typical of Margaret’s carving. The bowl is fully polished and it is signed on the bottom in the clay.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is certainly an classic of her early pottery.
