Acoma Polychrome Seed Jar by Grace Chino

An iconic piece of Indigenous Modern art, this seed jar is a large masterpiece by Grace Chino (1929-1994), a second-generation master potter from Acoma Pueblo. The repeated snowflake design dazzles the eye. This traditional piece is handmade and painted with yucca fiber brushes. It measures 10” high by 10 ½” in diameter. It is clearly signed by the artist and is in excellent original condition.

Grace is the best-known daughter of Marie Z. Chino, one of Four Matriarchs of the 20th century revival at Acoma. Grace collaborated closely with her mother and carried on her legacy. Marie and Grace were both honored in the landmark “7 Families In Pueblo Pottery” exhibit in 1974
