$ 300.00

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.  This bowl is painted with bee-weed (black). The design has a mountain pattern that extends up from the base. There are diamond shapes that extend down from the rim and are snow and rain patterns.  It has a very “op-art” style to the imagery, in addition to the obvious Chaco Revival pottery from Acoma. The bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  It is signed on the bottom, “S. Garcia”.
