This is a traditional bowl by Lorriane Williams.  It is a round bowl and has a rug design incised into the piece.  The background area is textured.  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”.
