This is an unsusal large bowl by Virginia Romero. She is one of the great names in keeping micaceous pottery alive at Taos Pueblo.  This bowl is made from micaceous clay.  It has a round body and a sloping sides. There are two lizards in relief on the sides of the bowl.  They are stylized in form and highly detailed.  The piece was traditionally fired which created the colorations on the surface.  This is a larger piece of her pottery.  The bowl is signed and dated on the bottom, “Virginia T. Romero”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair but some wear near the base.
