In the Zuni home, pottery bowls similar to this stepped-edge one would be used to store ceremonial cornmeal. They are known by many names: prayer bowl, cloud bowl and cornmeal bowl. Brandon Kallestewa's hand-coiled natural clay pottery bowl honors the Dragonfly (Shumak'olo:wa) rendered in rich earthy mineral pigments. For the A:Shiwi (The People), dragonfly is a messenger who carries prayers. Measurements are approximately 3 1/4" long, 3 1/4" wide and 2 3/4" tall. Signed by the artist.
