Frederica Antonio is renowned for her intricately painted pottery. Each piece is coil-built and then finely painted. Her designs are a series of fine vertical and horizontal lines which are then filled in to create larger images in the squares.   The neck of the jar has rain designs.  The body of the jar has four sections of corn designs.  Each of the sections is a different coloration.  Separating them are colorful rainbow bands. The tiny lines on the jar, along with the varied colorations, is visually striking!   It is an intricate design for the size of the jar.  The base of the jar is concave, reminiscent of historic Acoma jars that were carried on the head.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “F. V. Antonio”.
