Myrtle Young was a sister of noted potter Garnet Pavatea and the mother of potter Harriet Nasonhoya. Throughout her career, she was probably most famous for her large piki bowls. They are a classic shape for Hopi potter with a high side and fully polished on the inside and outside. This small bowl is similar to the piki bowl shapes and fully polished on the inside and outside.  It has a sticker on the bottom that says, “Miniature dough bowl by Myrtle Young.  Per John Howard and Letta Wafford”.  It might be signed under the sticker, I”m not sure.  Letta Wafford was a collector in Santa Fe in the 1970s, so it probably came from her colleciton. From the sticker, I have attributed it to Myrtle.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Myrtle’s pottery can be found in museums such as the Museum of Northern Arizona and the Heard Museum.
