Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit June 26-27, 2017 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 9”): This bowl is made with all natural traditional materials and was fired outdoors. The design consists of a variation of a rainbow band (orange) and lightning and rain lines. The black is very dark. There is a crack in this vessel wall that extends from the base up into the design. It was repaired prior to firing. This was concluded because the material used to repair the crack is lighter that the rest of the clay.
Stella Shutiva’s sister is Anita Lowden. Jackie Shutiva-Histia and Sandra Garcia are Stella’s daughters. They are also potters.
