Pottery Bowl by Barbara and Joe Cerno (Acoma) This award winning husband and wife team make some of the largest traditional polychrome ollas. The pot features a wonderful railroad design. Their pots are made from traditional materials, hand coiled and fired outdoors. Their pots are thin walled and beautifully detailed. Linked to an agricultural lifestyle, pottery is an art form most utilized by tribes of the American Southwest. Pueblo cultures adapted the soils of their environments, creating beautiful vessels meant to serve utilitarian purposes. Despite the everyday intention of their creations, Native American potters took great pride in their work. Pottery artists today combine traditional and contemporary techniques, methods and designs, often creating stunning pieces of artwork. This magnificent pottery bowl measures 8.25 inches in height by 9.5 inches in diameter.
