DescriptionPolychrome bowl with parrot and floral designs in interior. On the base of the exterior, the coils used to build the bowl are visible. The parrots painted on the interior are based on a parrot design that was used by the artist's great-grandmother, Reyes Galvan. The rest of the design is after a painting on paper in the IARC collection (SAR.1979-7-72) by Andres Galvan, the artist's grandfather.
Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Zia collection review visit September 10, 2024 (Events Record “Collection Review: Pojoaque Collection Review 1"): The artist/maker of this bowl, Ulysses Reid, used a basket as the puki to build this bowl. He was going to smooth the ridges that the basket left but decided to leave them. The parrot design he painted on this bowl is based off his great grandmother, Reyes Galvan’s parrot design. During Ulysses, fellowship here at the India Arts Research Center, he spent much time trying to figure out how to get the white slip to stick to the red slip. The black paint is manganese.
