Acoma Contemporary Jar by David Antonio

Description Traditional handmade Native American Indian Pottery from Indigenous Pueblos of the Southwest. Guaranteed authentic. Showcasing the striking visual language of “Sky City,” this contemporary polychrome jar by David Antonio is a beautiful continuation of Acoma Pueblo’s world-renowned ceramic tradition. Formed entirely by hand using ancient coiling methods, this well-proportioned vessel features a wide mouth and a gently sloping shoulder. The incredibly smooth exterior is coated in a classic, pristine white slip, which serves as a brilliant canvas for the artist’s meticulous freehand brushwork. The dynamic geometric design is executed using natural terracotta-red and deep black mineral pigments. Antonio demonstrates exceptional spatial awareness, balancing solid vertical panels of terracotta with complex black-and-white fine-line hatching and sharp, interlocking triangular motifs. A traditional red-painted rim perfectly frames the wide opening. Fired to achieve a smooth, durable finish, this jar is a striking, optic masterpiece that brings the vibrant energy of Acoma artistry into any contemporary space.
