This is one of the few triple signature pieces by Margaret Tafoya. The bowl was made by Margaret Tafoya, designed and carved by her great-grandson Charles Roller Lewis and polished by her daughter Toni Roller. It was made in the 1990’s. The bowl is one of Margaret’s classic shapes. The designs are a mountain, cloud and rain pattern which are deeply carved into the bowl. It is highly polished and traditionally fired black. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Margaret Tafoya, Toni Roller, Charles Lewis”. It is definitely a fascinating piece of history!
