The bowl shows a cream background with a black/brown traditional geometric pattern and is signed by hand “ELVA NAMPEYO”. Overall the piece shows very good well-preserved condition. Overall the piece measures 2.75”H by 5”W diameter. Provenance: From a 90-year collection out of Central Arizona in the Coconino National Forest.
