$ 350.00

This is a delicately painted 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 clouds across the shoulder in half-circles.  Below the shoulder are fineline rain, cloud and bird patterns.  The black and white contrasting colorations give the jar a very modern appearance.  There is also an indented base which is reminiscent of historic Acoma pottery.  It is signed on the bottom.
