| During the late 1920s to 1930s, the original owner of this handsome bowl, an Iowa physician, developed a passion for Native American arts and crafts while traveling the Dakotas and southwestern United States. This special pot, produced by Juanita Wo-peen Gonzales (1909-1988), is an estate piece from his tour of New Mexico. Juanita, orginally from the Taos Pueblo, married Louis Wo-peen Gonzales and joined his family at the San Ildefonso Pueblo in 1933. She was mentored by Rose Gonzales, who is credited for creating "cameo style" blackware. This bowl is a great example of Juanita's early work, featuring a deeply-carved, repeating pattern of geometric designs such as kiva steps. The vessel is thick walled, in a saucer-like form, with carvings circling its top third. The deep matt designs are a lovely contrast to the pot's shape and shiny black body. All in all, the bowl is fabulous! Size: 3 1/2" H x 6 1/4" W x 19 1/2" circumference. Wonderful condition. Note: A small area of fading on lower body. Signature on base. The bowl will be double boxed for shipment. | ||
