Rachel Aragon is known for her classic Acoma pottery.  This water jar or “olla” is a classic Acoma shape with a high shoulder and a short neck.  Typical of her work it is lightweight and a great form.  The jar has four Acoma parrots as the design.  They are surrounded by a rainbow band which encircles the jar (it is painted with a red clay slip).  There are additional cloud and rain designs painted on the jar.  The delicate lines are inspired by classic Acoma pottery from the late 1800’s.  The jar is signed on the bottom in the clay, “R. Aragon”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
