- Lot Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Acoma Pueblo, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. This is a beautiful hand-built polychrome pottery jar created by the traditional coil-and-scrape method for carrying water. The jar rests on a concave base the thick walls swelling outward to a rounded shoulder and a broad neck with a scalloped rim. The surface is slipped in a distinctive red hue, burnished, and overpainted with white registers and black outlines. The body features panels of stepped linear and cross hatching patterns and the neck contains stippled and arching motifs. Pots were traditionally made using clay and natural pigments in warm earthen tones and painted using yucca plant brushes. Water jars were made to be carried on the head, the high shoulder and concave base helped to balance the jar. Size: 8" Diameter x 6.5" H (20.3 cm x 16.5 cm)
