$ 1,800.00

Linda Tafoya-Sanchez is a granddaughter of noted potter Margaret Tafoya and she is know for her carved pottery.  This bowl is one of her few fully polished melon bowls.  It has 25 rounded ribs which swirl from the neck to the base. They are each fully stone polished for a high shine.  It is always more difficult to create the ribs at an angle than to do them linear from the neck to the base and the result is visually striking.  The bowl is signed in the clay on the bottom, “Linda Tafoya-Sanchez”.
