$ 1,750.00

Rebecca Lucario is known for her delicate and intricately painted pottery.  She uses traditional Acoma clay and paints with bee-weed (a plant) and clay slips.  Ever since one of her plates appeared on the cover of the “Changing Hands” exhibition catalog, her work has become iconic with fine-line style painting.  This plate is very intricately painted.  Ther center has a fineline star design.  Extending outward are concentric bands of medallions, each with different classic Acoma designs.  The outer band is very intricately painted with an interlocking diamond-shaped checkerboard pattern.  Note the use of the deep red and the orange-colored clays.  The intricate design of the plate is certainly visually dynamic! It is signed on the back, “R. Lucario, Acoma, 2014”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
