Sue Poncho Tapia is a potter originally from Laguna Pueblo, who married Tom Tapia from Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. She and her husband make Ohkay Owingeh style pottery. This small bowl with a handle was beautifully carved with vertical ribs. Each group of four vertical ribs alternates with polished red finish and micaceous finish. The arched handle and area of the rim are finished in a polished state. The underside of the bowl is matte finish.
