Acoma potter Marie Juanico is well-known for her traditional designs dating to prehistoric influences of Anasazi and Mogollon potters. In this case, she executed a perfectly painted Tularosa swirl with a corrugated band of texturing. Walking among the ruins of Chaco Canyon on any given day might well yield pot sherds which closely resemble the style of this piece both in terms of the colors and the corrugation.

This is a hand-coiled vessel made from Acoma Pueblo white clay gathered in a traditional manner on the pueblo's lands. The dark brown paint is made from wild spinach. This piece is signed "M.S. Juanico" and marked "Acoma, NMx" on the bottom. This piece was made in the autumn of 2003.
