Hopi Kachina Bowl


This is a very early Pahlik Mana hopi bowl. I have consulted with an expert who dates it from 1850 to 1870. One can look at the pots Powell collected online for similar pottery bowls from this time period. There are remnants of a white slip. Obviously some damage to base, could use some restoration but all design elements are extant. Faint vertical striations on her chest.

6 & 3/4″ diameter by 2 & 3/4″ high.
