6"w x 4.25"h

$ 225.00

This is a creative bowl by Robert Tenorio.  The bowl is painted with wild spinach (black) and red and copper colored clay slips.  The top half of the bowl has a train with the various cars all the way to the caboose.  There is a church with pueblo and surrounding the area in front of the train are the buildings and women from the Pueblo with their pottery.  Robert says that his train pots remind him of the older days when the Kewa village would hear the train whistle and come out to watch it pass by.  The bowl is traditionally fired and has a bit of dark cloudiness on the rim…or maybe that is just the smoke from the engine!  The bowl is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Robert Tenorio, Kewa”.
