content: Bowl is signed on the bottom of the bowl foot: "2882, ma-mah, Male [Made?]" Identified by Dwight Lanmon, 2007, as a Polychrome footed bowl. Maker attributed by Lanmon to be We'wha and Lanmon says bowl probably signed by We'wha (the writing on bottom of bowl foot). Lanmon also speculates that "2882" in signature could be an attempt at writing a date, perhaps 1882? References: p. 89 and 95 in "We'wha: A Zuni Man-Woman and His Pottery", by Dwight P.
