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 low shoulder and sloping sides.  It is painted with bee-weed (black) and clay slips. The jar has cloud and rainbow designs that swirl from the rim to the base.  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 can 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”.
