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 lizards. The lizards are inspired by the Mimbres pottery of the 1100’s.  Around the edge of the seedpot are cloud and rain designs, which are very intricately painted.  All the colors are from natural clay slips. The thin lines are very time consuming to paint!    It is an exciting modern interpretation of classic Acoma imagery.  It is signed on the bottom, “D. Lewis”.
