ACOMA POLYCHROME OLLA: FINE-LINE STYLE probably by CARRIE CHINO CHARLIE (1925-2012), ca. 1950s when she was about 28 years old. Condition: Excellent Mark: On the bottom: "Acoma, N.M." Description: Large olla, divided into 14 x 4 squares with square spirals in the "rain pattern." It has a pronounced shoulder, which is typical of early pots and give it a sense of lift. It has typical "red" paint inside the mouth and at the base. The fine-line work and form are dazzling; Carrie Chino Charlie was an early master of this style, and it was her specialty. Note: This piece won an intertribal prize in 1953; the ribbon reads "Third Prize/Arts-Crafts/Intertribal Indian Ceremonial." It was purchased from the estate of Catherine Noe, a long-time dealer of Gallup, N.M. 10"h x 7"d.
