$ 375.00

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 jar is thin-walled and tightly painted. There are a series of interlocking lightning patterns that extend from the rim to near the base. Note how they get larger as they extend down to the low shoulder.  It was traditionally fired outside so there are some color variations on the surface.  It is signed on the bottom, “Sarah Garcia” and dated 1960.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
