This is a classic bowl by Margaret Tafoya from the 1960s.  The bowl is coil-built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired black. The design is a classic triangular mountain design.  It is very deeply carved into the clay. The triangular designs around the neck are the clouds above the mountains.  This fluid design is striking on the piece giving it both an ancient and very modern appearance.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Tafoya”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
