For your consideration is this Acoma Pueblo, polychrome painted bowl, circa early 1900's. This bowl shows a good example of the traditional geometric pattern, following expert symmetry and showing 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, geometric patterns that are 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 bowl is good, with no obvious signs of damage; the bowl is in good display condition. The measurements of this bowl are 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".
