Description

Native American Hopi Handbuilt and Handpainted Bowl by Delaine Tootsie

This is a beautiful small bowl created by Delaine Tootsie, a Hopi potter who has been making pots since she was a little girl. Her hand-dug clay is multicolored and the designs go back hundreds of years in her family history. The inside of the bowl has a migration pattern with the four directions. The outside of the bowl is textured. Historically, when the clay was wet it was pressed into baskets to get the shape of the bowl just right. We are extremely happy to share Delaine's work with our customers.
