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 is one of her creative owl figures  The clay figurative work was popular in the 1970s.  The owl is fully painted on the body to have the appearance of feathers.  The beak is slipped with an orange clay. The raised eyes are a signature style for her owls.  It is signed on the bottom, “S. Garcia”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
