This is an outstanding and large piece of finely made and polychrome hand painted pottery by master artist Linda Concho of the Acoma Pueblo Native American Indians in New Mexico. This finely made piece consist of a large olla, otherwise referred to as an urn or vase, with lid. Lidded Olla’s are highly collectible due to the lid mainly being lost or never made. This lot is a Linda Concho, original, signed Acoma lidded urn. Linda uses natural pigments and traditional Acoma designs when creating her pieces. The urn shows the amazing craftsmanship she is known for, making her work so highly collectable. The Acoma Pueblo is in New Mexico. Linda uses natural pigments and traditional Acoma designs and tools when creating her pieces. She uses Yucca leaves for a paint brush, the traditional way of painting Acoma pottery. This urn is quite striking in its size. The urn is made of the fine, slate-like clay the pueblo is famous for. The urn was hand painted with black and red geometric designs. Linda signed the bottom of this urn in her "crossword" style. The urn is 11" tall (with the lid) and 22" around.
