R. Lukee Acoma Pueblo Black & White Seed Jar, Fine-Line Eye-Dazzler Pattern, 1992
A low, broad-shouldered seed jar by R. Lukee of Acoma Pueblo, hand-coiled from native clay and hand-painted in 1992. The entire surface is covered in a tightly worked geometric field — opposing triangles filled with parallel hatch marks, spiraling outward from the small mouth and wrapping the form in a radiating eye-dazzler pattern. The signature reads "R. Lukee / Acoma / 92" on the blackened underside.
The vessel reflects the Acoma tradition of dense, all-over geometric design that descends from ancestral Anasazi pottery and matured into the fine-line style associated with potters like Lucy Lewis and Marie Z. Chino. Lukee's hand here is confident and disciplined — the triangles march around the curvature without losing rhythm, the spiral converging cleanly at the rim. A small, sculptural piece meant to be turned in the hand and read from every angle.
CONDITION
Good. Light scuffing and shelf wear to the painted surface; pattern and signature remain crisp. No chips or cracks noted.
