Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit February 17-19, 2016 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 5”): This bowl is made with traditional Acoma materials and is outdoor fired. Stella often made bean pots for cultural use within the community. It is unusual that she made this form/style for commercial sale. Nothing more was said about this piece.
