This seedpot by Robert Patricio utilizes classic Acoma fine-line designs.  Robert is known for his classic forms and use of both traditional and pre-historic imagery.  This piece is coil-built from native clay and thin-walled. It has a classic round shape. The sides have fineline and checkerboard “petals”.  The top has a flower design.  It is exceptional, and the black and white coloration and two additional red clays for accents give the jar a very modern appearance.  Robert is one of the leading traditional Acoma potters working today, evidenced by his stunning forms and complementary designs.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “R. M. Patricio”.
