Native American Acoma Hand-Painted And Tool-Marked Seed Pot

This exquisite hand-painted seed pot, accented with intricate tool marks in the center, is signed by renowned Acoma potter Beatrice Garcia. A quintessential piece of Acoma pottery, it features geometric designs adorning both the top and body of the pot. Traditionally, in the fall, Acoma women would store seeds for the next spring in these pots, stacking them in the corners of their homes. This clever storage method saved space and protected the seeds from rodents, ensuring a bountiful crop the following year. ^
