Hopi- Burnished Bowl

Hopi- Burnished Bowl

Garnet Pavatia bowl, orange slip with six rows of incised triangles around top section. Hopi Redware bowl with "Church Key" design. Ben explained that "church key" is an inside joke- the tool used to make the triangular designs was a beer can opener with a pointed top. This piece was acquired by Ben's mother. Garnet Pavatea is the name of the artist.
