Category: Pottery | Posted by | Wed, Jun 22nd 2016, 2:19pm
This is a strikingly beautiful Acoma Pueblo polychrome water jar with a high shoulder decorated in black-on-white designs and devoid of red except for the underbody. The intricate Tularosa-style design is a series of curvilinear, rectilinear, and fine-line elements combined in an Escher-like manner that is as contemporary as any design and yet reflects its roots of a thousand years ago.
