4Y Springerville Polychrome bowl with two human figures with oversized hands that appear to be on a platform of some kind. The white paint being used to make interior designs as opposed to being used for outlining interior black designs, is very unusual.  This bowl is also unusual in that the interior black design is done in a Puerco style.  Approximate Dimensions: 9" or 23 cm. by 4 1/4" or 10.7 cm.
