This seedpot by Robert Patricio utilizes classic Acoma fine-line designs.  Robert is known for his classic forms and use of both traditional and pre-historic imagery.  This piece is coil-built from native clay and thin-walled. It has a classic round shape. The top has a flower with checkerboard patterns.  The flower “petals” extend around the remainder of the seedpot.  They are an usnual pattern with inter-connected triangular designs.  The lines are thin and tightly painted!  It is exceptional, and the black and white coloration gives the jar a very modern appearance.  Robert is one of the leading traditional Acoma potters working today, evidenced by his stunning forms and complementary designs.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “R. M. Patricio”.
