From the Southwestern Americana Collection Scottsdale AZ we have a Rare 1950s Hopi White Polychrome Bowl by Pauline Setalla (1930-present), measures 7.5''W x 3''H, signed on bottom by artist, Artist Bio: ''Pauline Setalla married into the Frog Woman/Feather Woman families. It was reported by her son that she is in ill health and has retired from making pottery. She had 10 children, some of whom are potters carrying on her legacy. She was raised on the village of Mishongovi on the Hopi Reservation. She learned pottery production techniques from her mother-in-law, Agnes Navasie, and her sister-in-law, Eunice Navasie. All of Setalla's pottery was formed in the traditional coil technique from native clay and slipped with vegetal paints and painted in the traditional manner. Firing was with sheep dung, a popular way at Hopi.''
