Shirley Tafoya was the youngest daughter of Margaret Tafoya and known for her miniature pottery. This bowl is from 1980. It is very deeply carved with a water serpent encircling the piece. The entire surface is fully polished. Shirley etched the eye and the mouth of the avanyu. The water serpent is a classic Santa Clara design telling the story of how the avanyu saved the village from a flood. The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Shirley Cactus Blossom Tafoya”. A classic of Tafoya Family pottery!
