Property of Various Owners, Lots 46-47 Christine McHorse Navajo, (b. 1948), a wide squat bowl with three lines of raised banding outlining the notched mouth; four raised crosses accent the shoulder, in brown and black glossy glaze. height 9in, diameter 20 1/2in. Fußnoten This vessel is representative of McHorse's earlier work, likely executed shortly before her major creative transition in the 1990s when she decided to focus exclusively on nearly matte or micaceous black pottery as sculpture rather than as functional vessels. The exceptionally thin walls of this particular bowl speak to the artist's influence by her mother-in-law, Lena Archuleta of Taos Pueblo, who taught her how to make traditional, elegant vessels from the area's micaceous clay.
