Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit May 9-11, 2017 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 8”): The red paint on this bowl is very dark and still vibrant. The rain lines are in red which is not common. The bowl appears to be well used with little pitting. The base is rounded and not concave which could imply that it sat on a pottery ring. The rim is slightly sculpted. The participants believe this bowl is Acoma based on the materials and design.
Encinal, which is written on the base, is a village in Laguna.
Note: The shape of the sculpted rim on bowls may be to help prevent cracks from forming during firing and use.
