All the elements to construct this wonderful piece were provided by Mother Earth. The clay was gathered from around the Zuni pueblo, was hand coiled into the bowl, and fired over open ground (not in a kiln). This bowl measures 5 3/4 inches in height and 5 inches in diameter at its widest part, and it is a magnificent example of the artistic prowess of its creator.
