Mae Tapia was known for her intricately etched miniature pottery. She was a daughter of potters Joe and Santanita Suazo.  Her sisters include Martha Suazo (the wife of Art Cody Haungooah), Margie Naranjo, Candelaria Suazo, and Shirley Duran.  This mini bowl is fully polished. On either side are incised kiva steps.  The piece was fired a glassy black.  It is signed on the bottom, Mae Tapia.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
