Small Acoma Pueblo New Mexico Dark Brown and White Pottery Bowl vintage curiosity as the top and bottomThis is a gorgeous little Acoma Pueblo Native American bowl from New Mexico, circa 1940s, I believe. I've really fallen in love with the relatively simple but dynamic surface decoration on traditional Acoma pottery, which this bowl perfectly exemplifies in the interplay of solid forms, stripes, and negative space made all the better by the contrasting terra cotta colored rim. Really lovely. A repair of a small break along the lip was made to this bowl
