Acoma polychrome water jar or 'olla' with bird design, by Grace Chino. A member of the Acoma Pueblo community, Chino was active in making pottery between the 1950s through 1994. Her designs were very precise and detailed and flowed from the top to the bottom of the pot. She used a variety of colors and design elements. Her pottery followed the traditional Olla shape and were made with the coil and scrap method of hand building. Her traditional designs are created using natural, mineral sources.Signed: Grace Chino, Acoma, N.M.Size: 8 x 9 1/2 in.
