Sarah Garcia (1928-2015) was born at Laguna Pueblo to Maria Trujillo.  However, she spent her adult at Acoma Pueblo.  She, along with Jessie Garcia, Lucy M. Lewis, and Marie Z. Chino, were largely responsible for the revival of Anasazi and Tularosa designs on contemporary Acoma vessels.  Her daughter Goldie Hayah continues making pottery.  This plate is painted on the front with a Mimbres style water bug. The design is wonderful with the extended wings.  It was traditionally fired.  It is signed on the back, “S. Garcia”.  It is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
