Antonio, Frederica – “Swirling Checkerboard” Small Jar
$ 1,200.00
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. This jar has a round body and a short neck. It has a spiraling checkerboard pattern that swirls across the surface 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”.
