Description

Judy Lewis -- Acoma Pueblo Polychrome Pottery Jar – Lizard & Bird Motifs

Striking hand-painted pottery jar by Judy Lewis (Acoma Pueblo, b. 1966), a distinguished member of the renowned Lewis family of Acoma potters. The vessel features finely painted geometric and figural motifs—stylized lizards and birds—executed in rich tones of black, red, orange, green, and white over a soft cream ground. The contrast of the unpainted neck and vivid body highlights Lewis’s signature blend of traditional Pueblo aesthetics and contemporary artistry. Judy Lewis has exhibited widely, earning recognition at the Santa Fe Indian Market and Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial for her refined craftsmanship and distinctive interpretation of Acoma design traditions.
