Barbara & Joseph Cerno are known for their large coil built vessels.  This miniature is coil built and painted with two Mimbres style bugs as the design.  There is some very intricate fineline and hatchwork designs.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “B.J. Cerno”.  Barbara & Joseph remain among the most renown contemporary Acoma potters for their revival of historic patterns.
