This is a very intricately 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 a star pattern in each of the central medallions.  There is a cloud band above and below and small plant designs. The fully painted design is inspired by classic Laguna pottery but has a very modern appearance. The base and inside rim are painted red. The jar has an indented base which is reminiscent of historic Acoma pottery when water jars were made to be carried on one’s head!  It is signed on the bottom.
