Jurors' Comments:
J. Ware: Beautifully executed micaceous pot from Santa Clara. A tradition that began in the northern Tiwa and is now spreading throughout the Rio Grande.
M. Polyestewa: As soon as I came into the room, for some reason this pot just caught my eye—the workmanship, the way it's made—it's plain but it does have a lot of meaning because it is a storage pot for flour, seeds, etc. The workmanship is just superb. I know it's all hand-coiled, handmade, and baked the traditional way.
A. Abeita: The beautiful micaceous pot has excellent balance and hand-eye coordination applied.
