Cochiti Pueblo small Decorated Bowl [SOLD]

This is a small Southwest Indian Pottery bowl from Cochiti Pueblo. The interior of the historic bowl is covered in cream slip over which was painted a design in black. The main design is typical of Cochiti designs, floating independently inside the bowl representing lightning, clouds and the sun. Two black bands decorate the top of the bowl, one at the very top and a thinner band about a half an inch down. The exterior of the bowl was covered with a red slip. There is no obvious indication that this bowl has been used.

Condition: very good condition, with no known repairs, and only a few minor rim chips.
