$ 2,200.00

This is an exceptional large seedpot by Marie Z. Chino.  The piece is from 1971 and it is a tightly painted piece by Marie Z. Chino, one of the great revivalist potters of Acoma Pueblo.  This piece is coil built, painted with bee-weed (a plant) and traditionally fired.  The design is a very complicated black and white lightning design. The pattern alternates with black areas and fine-line areas. The complex pattern has a very dynamic appearance to the eye.  It was inspired by Chano Canyon black and white style pottery.  This piece received a Blue Ribbon at the 1971 Gallup Intertribal Ceremonials.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  It is signed on the bottom.
