Pottery Acoma with Turtles

Pottery Acoma with Turtles

This Pottery Acoma with Turtles Jar features two 3 dimensional turtles on the top ring on each side and geometric designs. The artist decorated this jar in black, buff and terracotta Red.  The previous owner treated this jar carefully, and it remains in excellent condition. You will see a price tag mark and very minor wear on the bottom.

Traditional Acoma pottery comes from the Pueblo in New Mexico, and usually features very thin walls, a desirable characteristic. Most artists create theirs using hand coiled techniques. Originally created for practical uses such as storage, cooking, and eating.  They often use Black, White and Red slip colors.

The jar measures 3.5″ tall.  The top opening measures just over 2″ in diameter.  One of a Kind!
