Diane Lewis-Garcia is known for her tightly painted miniature pottery.  This is one of her very intricately painted seedpots.  The top is painted with birds, fish, a rabbit, lizard, deer, a quail family, and a flute player.  In the center is a three-headed turkey!  Take a closer look at the flute player and her face is the hole for the seedpot!  The figures are surrounded by traditional Acoma designs.  The piece is painted with bee-weed (black) and a variety of colors of natural clay slips.   The coloration and detail create a very striking piece!  It is signed on the bottom, “D. Lewis”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
