Hopi Polychrome Black-on-red Bowl [SOLD]

This is an exceptionally fine bowl featuring a white interior slip over which is painted a polychrome stylized avian design of typical Sikyatki influence. The exterior of the bowl is slipped in red clay over which is painted traditional Sikyatki bird designs. A mixture of Polychrome and Black-on-red typology is not often seen in Hopi pottery.

Structurally, the bowl is in excellent condition. Both interior and exterior designs evidence some wear, possibly from use at the pueblo. Both interior and exterior designs, however, are clearly visible.
