Sarah Garcia (1928-2015) was born at Laguna Pueblo to Maria Trujillo.  However, she spent her adult life at Acoma Pueblo.  She, along with Jessie Garcia, Lucy M. Lewis, and Marie Z. Chino, was largely responsible for the revival of Anasazi and Tularosa designs on contemporary Acoma vessels.  Her daughter Goldie Hayah continues making pottery.  This bowl is painted with four large butterflies. Their wings are just touching. There are additional rainclouds and bird wing patterns.  It is an elegant use of classic Acoma iconogrpahy.  The bowl was traditionally fired outside so there are some color variations on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Sarah Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
