He often collaborated with his mother, Stella Tanner (Kwa Povi, 1937–2006). They began working together around 1976. Stella prepared and polished the pottery forms, while Roy specialized in intricate sgraffito (incised\/etched) designs. Their family tradition traces back through Luteria Atencio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none; mso-hide: all;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThey produced high-quality miniature and small redware pieces, including seed pots, bowls, and jars, often featuring detailed motifs like butterflies, avanyu (water serpents), koshare (clowns), turtles, and other Pueblo-inspired elements.

They largely stopped collaborating around 1985, but Roy continued creating pieces into the 2000s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877423177893,"sku":"210408-03","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p6791_i12_w1000.jpg?v=1757346178","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/210408-03-san-juan-pueblo-butterfly-seed-bowl-by-roy-tsigowanu-tanner","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
