This is an exceptional bowl by Margaret Tafoya.  The bowl is coil-built, coil built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired black. The piece is very deeply carved with a “wind off the mesa” design.  The step designs are the mesa while there is rain and wing patterns extending outward from that design.  Note the depth of the carving on this bowl.  It is also highly polished and fired a deep black coloration.  The bowl is exceptional in carving, shape, and depth of design.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Tafoya”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
