content: This cream-colored bowl painted with brown and red designs has a number of decorative components. The central image seems to be a turkey or similar bird, as represented by the head with beak and the large tail feathers. There is also what appears to be a human arm and hand attached to the turkey's body. The hand was a common Sikyatki motif. This bowl may be a Nampeyo piece.
