Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit April 3-5, 2018 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 10”): The neck on the jar appears to be straight with no flare at the rim. The jar feels heavy at the point where the neck meets the body. Grace’s mother, Marie Z. Chino, made a tall neck vase lik this as well around the same time, see SAR.1994-4-547.
According to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit February 26-27, 2019 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 12”): Vases likely came into production as a tourist trade item. The vase form may be an influence from other cultures. Vases are still being made and used today at Acoma in both traditional natural and commercial materials.
