Pottery Polychrome jar with geometric design, signed Lucy M. Lewis, Acoma. Considered one of the matriarchs of American Indian pottery, Lucy Martin Lewis spent her entire life in Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. For more than seven decades, she practiced the art of making dung-fired white pottery, noted for its black "thin-line" geometric abstractions derived from ancestral designs. First sold at roadside stands, her pottery became so prized that it is now in museum collections, including the Smithsonian Institution. Many of Lewis's children and grandchildren continue her legacy by making pottery of their own. Size: 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 in.
