this is a deeply carved bowl by Margaret Tafoya.  It was made in the 1980s. The bowl is coil-built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired a deep black coloration.  The bowl has a water serpent (avanyu) encircling the bowl. The avanyu ebbs and flows across the surface with sharp edges.  Note how the body of the avanyu has cloud, rain, and lightning designs.  The bowl is fired a deep black coloration.  It is signed on the bottom, “Margaret Tafoya”.  It’s always great to see the expanse of Margaret’s creativity throughout her career.
