Sarracino, Myron – Large Jar with Lightning Designs
$ 500.00
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 jar has a high shoudler and a short neck. It has a classic lightning design painted across the entire surface. The top band is painted with red clay. It is is a complex design with a lot of fine-line work! 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”.
