$ 3,500.00

Barbara & Joseph Cerno are known for their large coil built vessels.  This large jar is a striking shape and painted with  birds and surrounded by rainbows.  The various colors are derived from natural clay slips.  The flow of design and the intricacy of the painting is simply stunning!   The jar is from 1986 and it is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair. There is some spalling from the clay which can be seen in the photos.   Barbara & Joseph remain among the most renown contemporary Acoma potters for their revival of historic patterns..
