8"w x 6.75"h

$ 400.00

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 classic jar with a round body and a short neck.  The jar is coil-built and painted with bee-weed (black).  The sides have four large swirling swirls inspired by the Tularosa pottery of the 1150-1325 era (see last photo).  The swirls are a contrast of of a bold line and thin lines.  The neck has an angular cloud pattern.  The jar is signed on the bottom, “M. Sarracino”.
