This is an intricate jar by Franklin Peters.  He is known for his thin walled pottery and use of traditional Acoma imagery on his pottery. The jar is coil built with native clay and painted with native slips. The design has a medallion on each side with bird wing and lightning patterns.  Separating the medallions are rain and lightning patterns. There is a striking contrast with the black and white coloration.  There is also an indented base which is reminiscent of historic Acoma pottery.  It is signed on the bottom.
