Vintage Hopi Wide Pottery Bowl
This Vintage Hopi Wide Pottery Bowl was handmade start to finish! The hand coiled and shaped clay was stone polished and then free-hand painted. This bowl features linear patterns with cross-hatching and zigzags that usually symbolize rain or moisture. On a slant are what appears to be foxes hiding behind ladder patterns. The bold graphics blend nicely on the buff clay. About 7-3/4" wide and 4-1/2" tall, it's signed Silas with a bird hallmark. One of a kind, this Vintage Hopi Wide Pottery Bowl will add a spark of interest to your home or office, no matter where you display it!
There is no info available for this artist, but there are more than a few family members who live and work on Polacca, First Mesa. They are referenced in Schaaf's, "Hopi-Tewa Pottery, 500 Artist Biographies".
