This is a classic-style water jar by Eric Lewis.  It has a round shoulder and a short neck. The jar is fully painted and there is an elk on one side.  As the jar is turned there are clouds, wind, and antler desigsn. It is a complex piece in design yet the imagery flows perfectly across the surface and matches the shape.  The strong graphics on Eric’s pottery give them a modernist appearance. However, look closer and you can see a variety of traditional designs that he has used for the designs that are all based on traditional Acoma patterns. The jar is signed on the bottom, “Eric Lewis 2021”.
