Description
-
Collected by Matilda Coxe Stevenson, this Hopi bowl was acquired in Arizona. This coil bowl has a painting of a Hopi spirit, similar to the mask designs of the Kachinas, filling its interior. There are notable characteristics, such as the paired vertical lines on the beings face, the head feathers and the wings which are generally associated with identifiable spirits. The underside of the bowl has two significant features as well: the original red identification numbers, 226, and a sizable blushing.
