$ 600.00

Dolores Juanico Aragon is a daughter of Marie S. Juanico and a granddaughter of Dolores Sanchez.  She learned to make pottery from her mother.  Each piece is coil built, painted with bee-weed (black), and painted with native clay slips.  Much of Dolores’s pottery is inspired by historic Acoma vessels. This jar is a classic Acoma shape with a round shoulder and a short neck.  It was inspired by a classic Acoma jar from 1910.  There is a rainbow that is painted red.  Above and below are tightly painted rain and plant designs.  It is a complex pattern that looks both ancient and modern.  It is signed on the bottom, “D. J. Aragon”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, restoration, or repair..
