| ACOMA PUEBLO STORAGE JARS, 1885 - 1910 |
Acoma Pueblo is one of about twenty Indian Villages in New Mexico and Arizona. Established in about 1300 A.D., Acoma has a long and distinguished history of superb pottery making. Traditional jars and bowls are formed of the finest clay, tempered with crushed fragments of older vessels to preserve continuity of spirit, painted with available earth pigments, and fired to ringing hardness on the open ground with slabs of fuel piled around. |
