Acoma Pueblo Small Pottery Jar with Elaborate Geometric and Pictorial Designs by Rose Chino Garcia [SOLD]

Artist Rose Chino Garcia combined two Acoma Pueblo pottery designs that are collector’s favorites—complicated geometrics and heart line deer— and she did it in an exquisite manner.  Each design section, and there are four of them, prominently displays a dark brown deer with a white rump and a heart line from its mouth to the heart. The deer is looking behind as if startled by a noise or movement.  Surrounding the deer is a multitude of dark brown and fine line elements, filling every available space on the jar. The rim is dark brown and the underside is white. The jar is signed Rose Chino Garcia Acoma N.M.

Rose (1928-2000) was one of the talented daughters of Marie Z. Chino.  Among her talented sisters, who also were potters, were Carrie Chino Charlie and Grace Chino.  Rose’s pottery is in the collections of the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, Heard Museum in Phoenix, Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, and numerous private collections. She won awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market as early as 1975.
