Native American Pottery 680. Description: Native American, Acoma Pottery, Twin-spouted wedding jar, poly chrome with birds, The design integrates stylized birds, fauna, and pre-historic symbology seamlessly around a squat, bulbous form.

In fact, the top surface is where the artist did her best work. The stirrup connecting the two spouts is fashioned from three clay coils, with the delineation apparent. Dimensions: 8.5 in. high x 8 in. wide. Condition: Very good considering the age and use of the item. c. 1920's - 1930's. ----------- Find more pottery from the American Southwest here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CulturalPatina?section_id=15777760&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1 ----------- A History of Pueblo Pottery: Pueblo pottery is made using a coiled technique that came into northern Arizona and New Mexico from the south, some 1500 yea
