Native American Acoma Handbuilt and Handpainted Seed Pot with Deer by Alicia Chino

Wonderful handbuilt and handpainted seed pot by Acoma potter Alicia Chino a deer with heartline surrounded by classic Acoma patterns. This is a beautiful piece of pottery by a wonderful potter. In the fall the women would take the seeds for next Spring and place them in these pots and then stack them. These pots would be placed in the corner of their home, stacked so the bottom of one pot would seal the top of the other. This storage technique would save space and keep the rodents from ruining next years' seed crop. Each straight line on an Acoma pot is a prayer for rain.
