Description
Brilliantly constructed by hand from natural clay, the pot is covered in intricate polychrome designs. Laguna potter, Myron Sarracino made this outstanding olla. Myron was born into the Laguna Pueblo in 1967. He began hand coiling pottery in 1984 at the age of 17. Myron continued creating hand coiled pottery because he was inspired by his friend and teacher, Gladys Paquin, as well as his friend Verna Soloman and his grandparents Thelma and Sandy Sarracino. Myron specializes in hand coiled traditional pottery with most of designs originating from the Tularosa basin in southern New Mexico. These prehistoric swirl patterns along with various fine line work are his specialty. He duplicates ancient designs from old broken pottery shards found on ancient grounds. Myron uses all natural pigments to construct his high quality pottery. A unique addition to any pottery or Native American art collection. Signed

Laguna is the largest Keresan speaking Pueblo, with around eight thousand members. Laguna Pueblo comprises six major villages, Laguna, Paguate, Encinal, Mesita, Seama, and Paraje, scattered over many acres with the political center at Laguna. In the 1970s, the traditional craft of pottery making was re-established. Fine work in red, yellow, and orange geometric designs, similar to Acoma work, was created by a number of artists. Painters and jewelry makers have begun to work again in the ancient crafts, but they are bringing a modern note in the innovative designs and techniques which set their work apart from many other artists.

Within the Jemez Pueblo there are many exceptional potters. The work is generally characterized by the buff and red clays used, and the range of styles and subjects. Storyteller, figures, sgrafitto designs, wedding vases, and melon pots are a few of their favorites. Before the arrival of the Spanish, Jemez was known for its traditional black-on-white ware, but production of this type of pottery died out in the early 18th century. There was a revival of Jemez pottery-making in the early 20th century inspired and influenced by Zia pottery designs, but it was not until the 1960’s and 70’s that a significant number of Jemez potters began producing high-quality work using traditional methods.
