DescriptionThis clay storage jar, or olla, of an unknown date is attributed to the Acoma people of New Mexico. It is reputed to have won a first prize award at the International Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915. Decorated in white, black and red geometric motifs, it was created as part of a larger renaissance of Native American pottery by an Acoma artisan.
