$ 1,175.00

This is an intricately painted seedpot by Frederica Antonio.  Each piece is coil built and then finely painted. Her designs are a series of fine vertical and horizontal lines that are then filled in to create larger images in the squares.  This is one of her few seedpots and it is fully designed.  It is painted on the sides with a checkerboard star pattern.  The vertical lines are the sunset.  There are three different colors of clay.  The top has a larger star highlighted with two additional clay colors.  It is very delicate in the design and flow of the pattern.  The base of the seedpot is concave, reminiscent of historic Acoma jars that were carried on the head.  This combination of tightly painted designs on a rounded seedpot shape is visually striking!  It is signed on the bottom.
