This hand-coiled and painted black-on-black pottery jar is a signed work by Margaret Garcia of the Santa Clara Pueblo, dated 1988. A classic example of Pueblo ceramic artistry, it features a matte-on-gloss geometric design encircling the vessel’s upper half.
Created using traditional methods, the pot exhibits the hallmark deep black finish achieved through reduction firing. Garcia's signature is etched on the underside along with the date, affirming both authenticity and provenance.
