A traditional Acoma bowl by Dolores Lewis Garcia (b. 1938). The bowl has a wide opening and subtly inward curving rim that tapers down to the base. It is decorated in a symbolic style, formed by Lucy Lewis that she passed on to her daughters, Dolores and her sisters. The repeating motif resembles rain, clouds, or feathers often symbolizing abundance and fertility. Signed on the underside, "Dolores Lewis, Acoma, New Mexico."
