Acoma Horsehair Pottery Spanish Mission Church Design by M Vail

This Acoma Horsehair Pottery is sculpted with the iconic image of a Spanish Mission Church on the front. Gold paint highlights the details of the church and its crosses. The mission relief lifts from the pottery wall with savvy subtlety then fades back in toward the sides. The horsehair patterns are clear and the squiggly lines wrap around the entire pot with hypnotic detail. The smokey background is created by spreading horsehair across the glowing hot clay while firing. This burns into the surface creating the unique reticulated backdrop. About 7-1/4" wide by 6" tall and 4-3/4" deep from the front to the back. It's signed by Acoma potter, M. Vail. A sublime piece with a southwest vibe all it's own, this Acoma Horsehair Pottery will give everyone something special to contemplate when they come around!
