This is a traditional bowl by Lorriane Williams.  It is flat and wide in shape.  The bowl size step cloud patterns which are incised into the clay.  They are highlighted with red and black slips.  They create an overall star pattern.  The bowl has been traditionally fired.  After the piece is fired it is covered in pine pitch, which is typical of all traditional Navajo pottery harkening back to when it was utilitarian.  Lorraine has won numerous awards for her pottery and been featured in books such as “A Legacy of Generations”.
