Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit May 11-13, 2016 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 6”): This jar is likely an earlier piece done by Loretta. She is still making pottery and her pieces now are taller and narrower at the base and her designs are now bigger. The materials (paints and clay) are all traditional/natural Acoma materials. The design includes lightning and cloud motifs and rain lines. There are no line breaks on this jar.
