Diane Lewis is known for her tightly painted miniature pottery. This is one of her very intricately painted seedpots. The top is painted with intricate Mimbres inspired fish and birds. The body of each animal is painted with classic Acoma designs and highlighted with various clay colors. All the colors are from natural clay slips. Surrounding the fish and birds are triangular shapes which are painted with very line lines. The thin lines are very time consuming to paint! Note as well there is a cut-out on the top of the piece in the shape of a fish! The animals are inspired by the Mimbres pottery of the 1100’s. It is an exciting modern interpretation of classic Acoma imagery. It is signed on the bottom, “D. Lewis”.
