For your consideration is this Acoma Pueblo Olla pottery by New Mexico Acoma artist, E. Joe. This is a large well-crafted pot with black and white geometric patterns. His bowl shows a good example of the traditional geometric pattern, following expert symmetry and showing a triangular border along the rim. The Acoma pueblo is best known for their unique pottery style and method, utilizing techniques that have been in practice since the Acoma establishment in 1150 A.D. Acoma pottery is emblematic of the lifestyle of the people who make it. It typically features thin walls, fluted rims, hand painted animal motifs, and geometric patterns usually rendered in stark black and white or muted warm colors, and is unglazed — stylistic elements that collectively make Acoma pottery easily recognizable. The condition of this pot is pristine, with no obvious signs of damage and in good, like-new display condition. The measurements of this pot are 9" x 10" x 10".
