Garcia, Sarah – Water Jar with Double Lightning Design (1960s)
4.5"w x 6.5"h
$ 450.00
Sarah Garcia (1928-2015) was born at Laguna Pueblo to Maria Trujillo. However, she spent her adult life at Acoma Pueblo. She, along with Jessie Garcia, Lucy M. Lewis, and Marie Z. Chino, were largely responsible for the revival of Anasazi and Tularosa designs on contemporary Acoma vessels. Her daughter Goldie Hayah continues making pottery. This long neck jar is coil-built. It was fully polished and painted with bee-weed for the black. There is a double lightning design with the lightning on the top filled in with thin lines. It was traditionally fired outside so there are some color variations on the surface. It is signed on the bottom, “Sarah Garcia”. It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. It was originally purchased in the late 1960s.
