This is a classic round fully polished bowl by Daryl Whitegeese.  Daryl said he was inspired by the shapes of the water jars made by his grandmother, Margaret Tafoya.  The bowl has a round shape and sloping sides.  There are four bear paws impressed into the clay.  The entire piece was then fully polished and fired a glassy black.  The bear paws represent a Tewa story where a bear led the Pueblo people to water during a drought.   The piece is signed on the bottom, ‘Daryl Whitegeese”.  Definitely a classic piece keeping family history alive!
