Linda Tafoya-Sanchez is a granddaughter of noted potter Margaret Tafoya and she is known for her carved pottery.  This bowl is coil-built, carved with 26 feathers, and fully polished. The rim of the bowl is also fully polished.  The bowl was fired a deep, glassy black coloration.  Take a closer look at each feather, as they are very tightly cut into the clay, and the lines are amazingly straight!  The bowl is signed on the bottom, “Linda Tafoya”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
