This bowl by Margaret Tafoya is from the 1960’s.  The shape is her classic bowl from that time period with the round shoulder.  The carving is deep and the edges are rounded from the polishing.  The design is a mountain pattern with the wind and lightning flowing across.  The interesting part of this bowl is that it is a smaller version of some larger pieces she made with this exact same shape!  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is fired to a dark black coloration which is definitely expected with her pieces from this time period.
