$ 600.00

Sarah Garcia (1928-2015) was born at Laguna Pueblo and was a daughter of 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 larger bowl is fully painted with three large lizards.  Separating them are very intricately painted rain and cloud patterns. The bowl is thin-walled and traditionally fired.  It is signed on the bottom, “Sarah Garcia”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
