Myron Sarracino is one of the few Laguna potters working today. He learned to make pottery from Gladys Paquin and creates pieces that are thin-walled and tightly painted. This is a large water jar. It has a wide shoulder, elongated neck, and thin-walled. The neck and shoulder are painted with bands of interlocking clouds. Below the shoulder are two colorful rainbow bands. The jar is fully designed and striking in appearance. Note on the rim that there is a painted “spirit line”, which is where the “spirit” of the painter is able to leave the piece and it is also a tribute to the potters who came before. It is seen on much older Acoma and Laguna pottery. The jar is signed on the bottom, “Myron Sarracino”.
